We are currently accepting applications for the above mentioned position. This is a unique opportunity for junior researchers with a recent PhD degree in Physics or related fields to join one of DIPC’s high-profile research teams.

The role
We are seeking a postdoc to study electronic and transport properties of hetero-epitaxial moiré superlattices and quantum materials under uniaxial strain by using Angle Resolved Photoemission Spectroscopy (ARPES), Scanning Tunneling Microscopy (STM) and magneto-transport. The ideal candidate should have extensive experience in ARPES. Transport and STM experience would be advantageous.

Essential Duties and Responsibilities:
The candidates will conduct the ARPES and/or STM, magnetization, specific heat and magneto-transport studies of quantum materials under uniaxial strain at user facilities and collaborating groups and contribute to the complementary within the research program of the group.
The position will involve travel and possible extended stays at collaborating institutions and/or user facilities. The position is for 2-3 years, starting as soon as possible.

Desired background & competences
An excellent understanding of the physics of strongly correlated materials and transport properties of quantum materials is essential.
Experience with lab- and synchrotron-based ARPES experiments. STM expertise and experience on Quantum Design PPMS is advantageous
Experience in ARPES, MBE and/or STM.
Proven abilities for disseminating research by writing papers and giving academic talks.
Enjoys teamwork and an interdisciplinary environment.

Working conditions
Estimated annual gross salary: Salary is commensurate with qualifications and consistent with our pay scales
Target start date: 2026/04/30
We provide a highly stimulating research environment, and unique professional career development opportunities.

We offer and promote a diverse and inclusive environment and welcomes applicants regardless of age, disability, gender, nationality, ethnicity, religion, sexual orientation or gender identity.

The center
DIPC is a research center whose mission is to perform and catalyze cutting-edge research in physics and related disciplines, as well as to convey scientific culture to society. Located in Donostia / San Sebastian (Basque Country, Spain), DIPC was born from a strategic alliance of both public institutions and private companies. Since 2008 DIPC is a 'Basque Excellence Research Center' (BERC) recognized by the Basque Government's Department of Education. In 2019, DIPC was also recognized as a "Severo Ochoa" Excellence Center by the Spanish Research Agency.

About the team
The research team involves several collaborators from Donostia (DIPC and CFM), Zaragoza, Zagreb (Croatia) and Prague (Czech Republic) where the ARPES, STM and magneto-transport experiments will be performed. ARPES experiments will also routinely be done at synchrotron facilities around the World.
