Postdoc (f/m/d) for the Investigation of Color Centers in Diamond Membranes

Kennziffer: SE 2024/30

The Department for Spins in Energy Conversion and Quantum Information Science
(SE-ASPIN) is dedicated to the investigation of structure-property
relationships, in particular of systems featuring electron spins. Our
spin-oriented perspective extends to materials and devices used in applications
such as photovoltaics (PV), batteries, and quantum technology. The research
group Quantum Information with Solid State Spins within SE-ASPIN is dedicated
to the investigation of quantum materials for their application in the quantum
technology. We want to strengthen our team for our activity within the project
Diamond quantum materials (DiaQuam). The goal of DiaQuam is the development of
diamond materials for their application in the quantum technology. This joint
research project is funded by the German Federal Ministry of Education and
Research (BMBF), where a German company, one university and two research
institutes work together. We are looking for you as a postdoc at the
Helmholtz-Zentrum Berlin für Materialien und Energie (HZB).
