The purpose of this role is to develop novel nano magnetic materials and structures that include magnetic thin films for highly miniaturized magnetic-M/NEMS applications. The development of advanced thin magnetic films and fabricated devices and their thorough magnetic characterization (static and dynamic) leading to the process development at Tyndall’s state-of-the-art clean-room facility is an essential part of the role. In addition, the researcher will collaborate with other research teams within and outside Tyndall for the delivery of the project.
Job Responsibility:
Work with the supervisor and other team members in idea and strategy generation to deliver the outputs of the project and to contribute to raising the profile of this activity
Coordinate and implement research towards developing a ME/Spintronic device fabrication process-flow through collaboration with other researchers and clean-room technicians
To optimize deposition process parameters for thin magnetic films and nano-hetero-structured magnetoelectric stack leading to complete devices, while using Tyndall’s state-of-the-art clean-room facility
To characterize (magnetic, structural and electrical) magnetic thin-films and devices
To characterize magnetization dynamics of the thin magnetic films and devices
Supervise and provide day-to-day advice, support, mentoring, and assistance to undergraduate students and other junior members
Adopt an independent approach to carry the project work forward while proactively identifying opportunities for external funding, preparing research grant proposals, assessing potential commercial exploitation, and generating new Intellectual Properties (IPs) in collaboration with the research supervisor
Engage in the dissemination of the results to the relevant research stakeholders in the appropriate form such as reports result to team leaders, partners, and funding agencies and publications in the top-tier journals and at leading conferences in the field
Communicate the benefits of the research to wider society through active regular participation in several Education and Public Engagement (EPE) activities, as required
Engage in appropriate training and development opportunities to develop own transferable skills, career and reputation
Ensure all activities are compliant with the Tyndall Quality Management system and the required Health and Safety standards in Tyndall
Requirements:
PhD in Materials Science, Engineering, Physics, or related discipline with typically 2+ years of postdoctoral experience in the relevant field/s
In-depth knowledge of magnetism and magnetic materials, and deep expertise in structural, magnetic, and electric characterization of thin films
Experience in micro-nano fabrication techniques such as film deposition, lithography and etching in clean-room environment
Strong track record of publications in journals, conferences or patents and IP material
Evidence of idea generation capability and delivery – both technically and operationally – of successful research projects
Evidence of the ability to work independently on your own initiative and as a part of a team
Highly self-motivated and ability to take initiative
Excellent communication, writing, organization, and interpersonal skills
Nice to have:
Evidence of multi-disciplinary collaboration with external academic or industrial partners
Experience in the multiphysics (COMSOL) and micro-magnetic (MuMax3) modelling
Experience in clean room microfabrication processes of hetero-structured devices
Experience in static and dynamic characterization of magnetic materials and devices
What we offer:
Access to UCC pension
long-term illness benefit
life assurance
Competitive annual leave entitlements
Structured induction and mentoring
Flexibility to work remotely and on-site, where the role allows
