Join the laboratory of Shilei Ding at SPMS. We are seeking a research fellow to conduct high-impact research on orbital current driven domain wall motion. The role will focus on thin-film deposition and onchip device fabrication, combined with electrical transport measurements to investigate how orbital currents transfer angular momentum to local magnetization and drive magnetic textures.

Key Responsibilities:

• Depositing high quality magnetic thin films

• Performing structural and magnetic characterization

• Fabricating devices using lithography techniques

• Conducting high-field low-temperature electrical transport measurements

• Publish research results in high-impact peer-reviewed journals

• Mentoring PhD, Masters, and undergraduate students

Job Requirements:

• PhD in Physics or a closely related field

• Strong background in experimental condensed matter or material physics, with experience in thin-film deposition, device fabrication, and electrical transport measurements

• Familiarity with the theory of magnetism

• Proficiency in MATLAB/Python and LabVIEW for data acquisition and analysis

• Good written and oral communication skills

• Ability to work collaboratively in a fast-paced research environment

• Experience working with and mentoring PhD, Master, and undergraduate students

• Ability to provide regular progress reports to the PI

• Ability to contribute to the development of research proposals for external funding based on project outcomes

We regret to inform that only shortlisted candidates will be notified.
