Let’s shape the future - University of Antwerp
The University of Antwerp is a dynamic, forward-thinking, European university. We offer an innovative academic education, conduct pioneering scientific research, and play an important service-providing role in society. We are one of the largest, most international and innovative employers in the region, with a diverse workforce from various countries.
The Electron Microscopy for Materials Science group (EMAT) at the Faculty of Science is looking for a PhD researcher to join the “track the twin” doctoral network on the use of “low-dose electron microscopy techniques for atomically precise characterisation of single quantum dots”, under the supervision of Prof. Sandra Van Aert and Prof. Sara Bals.
The Track The Twin Horizon Europe MSCA Doctoral Network aims to address the challenges of quantum dots (QDs) under loading conditions that can affect their performance. This research and training program focuses on creating and utilizing QD digital twins (QDDTs) and offers a rich environment for doctoral candidates in nanomaterials.
All doctoral candidates will be trained to use and co-develop a common data platform and will have exposure to a variety of environments necessary for implementing QDDTs. The collaboration between leading academic institutions and start-up companies will enhance scientific training with transferable skills training.
Position
* You will actively prepare a PhD thesis focused on determining the atomically precise structures of single quantum dots using scanning transmission electron microscopy methods.
* You will publish scientific articles related to the research project.
* You will carry out a limited number of teaching and research support tasks for EMAT.
Profile
* You hold a Master’s degree in physics, applied physics, or materials science.
* Your research qualities align with the faculty and university research policies.
* You demonstrate attention to quality, integrity, creativity, and cooperation.
* You are enthusiastic and interested in electron microscopy.
* You can submit outstanding academic results.
* You are motivated, quality-oriented, conscientious, creative, and cooperative.
* You have an affinity for experimental work and possess good practical skills.
* You are interested in the quantitative analysis of electron microscopy data.
* Only applications in line with the MSCA mobility rules are eligible, meaning that researchers cannot have resided in Belgium for more than 12 months in the three years prior to recruitment.
What we offer
* A doctoral scholarship for a period of 1 year, renewable for another 3 years following a positive evaluation.
* The planned start date is December 1st.
* An exciting project aiming to advance the state-of-the-art.
* A stimulating, high-tech, multidisciplinary research environment.
* A laboratory equipped with state-of-the-art instrumentation, including 3 aberration corrected TEM instruments.
* Opportunities to participate in international workshops and conferences.
* A competitive salary, calculated according to the standards for doctoral scholarship holders.
* Additional benefits include eco-cheques, Internet-connectivity allowance, and transportation allowances.
* You will primarily work at Campus Groenenborger in a dynamic and stimulating environment.
