Technician Quantum Materials Science Unit
Quantum Materials Science (QMS) Unit is seeking to recruit Technicians.
The broad objective of QMS Unit is to explore novel physics in quantum materials, which also leads to future nano-electronics and nano-spintronics applications, particularly, focus on topological materials, Dirac materials, 2D van der Waals materials, correlated systems, and high-Tc superconductors.
The Unit’s strength lies in ability to combine advanced material synthesis techniques and ultra-high resolution single particle spectroscopies. This will allow us to design novel charge, spin, orbital, and/or phonon states in a variety of engineered quantum systems.
The Okinawa Institute of Science and Technology Graduate University was established in 2011 to contribute to the development of science and technology worldwide and to serve as a hub of innovation in Okinawa. OIST is a dynamic new graduate university of science and technology in Okinawa Prefecture, Japan which offers a 5-year PhD program and brings together outstanding researchers from across the country and across disciplines to conduct cutting-edge scientific research.
The university is located on 85 hectares of protected forestland overlooking a beautiful shoreline and coral reefs. The campus is striking architecturally, and the facilities are outstanding.
