Research Fellow (110944-1025)
For informal enquiries, please contact Alex Robertson (Associate Professor) at alex.w.robertson@warwick.ac.uk.
We are seeking to employ a Research Fellow to pursue electron microscopy of 2D multi-ferroic materials and support our wider research efforts in advanced in situ TEM, EBIC, and 4D-STEM.
We are looking for someone who has a PhD in Physics, Materials Science, or a related discipline, and has a proven track record in the necessary skills required for this project.
You will have experience working with high-end analytical STEM methods, in particular 4D-STEM, in situ holders, and STEM EBIC.
You will be mapping electric and magnetic fields in layered 2D materials in situ using a cryogenic cooling holder, heating holder, and a biasing holder, and so should be experienced with using these techniques independently.
The applicant will have an advanced knowledge of the inner workings of JEOL microscope alignment and is comfortable with non-standard optical alignments in a field-free mode.
You will also have experience with mechanical exfoliation and sample preparation of monolayer 2D materials suitable for study by TEM.
For details on the experience and skills required, please refer to the job description attached as a PDF below.
PhD Status
If you are near submission of your PhD, or have not yet had it conferred, any offers of employment will be made at Research Assistant level, at the highest spinal point of pay grade 5 (£34,610 per annum).
Upon receipt of evidence confirming the successful award of your PhD, you will be promoted to Research Fellow, at the lowest spinal point of grade 6 (£35,608 per annum).
Independent Research Fellowships hosted by the Department of Physics
Are you an ambitious researcher looking to take the next step in your career? Warwick Physics has a strong track record of supporting early career fellows secure fellowships to help establish themselves as independent researchers.
We welcome applications from candidates seeking to hold any externally funded fellowship with us. Our department fosters a dynamic and inclusive research environment, and we especially encourage applications from individuals from underrepresented backgrounds.
To apply with Warwick Physics as the host, an Expression of Interest (EOI) and a CV must be submitted. You will need to have the support of a mentor from within one of our research clustersLink opens in a new window who will provide advice and guidance. All EOIs will be reviewed by a selection panel. If numbers of applications to a particular scheme are limited, the panel will decide which will be supported. For full details on how to submit your EOI, visit the Physics Fellowships webpagesLink opens in a new window. We look forward to supporting your research journey!
Warwick Physics provides a healthy supportive working environment, dedicated to providing outstanding scientific guidance, mentorship and personal development. We value individuals with care giving responsibilities and offer flexible working hours to accommodate their needs.
