Prosto delovno mesto: ZNANSTVENI SODELAVEC s področja RAZISKAV GRAFENA

The position is open within project Strengthening University of Nova Gorica Research Potential in Environmental Sciences and Novel Nanomaterials (SUNGREEN) cofinanced under Framework Programme 7 (Call: FP7-REGPOT-2011-1) with duration until 30.9.2014.
Conversion to a tenure track position is possible.

The successful candidate will complement the research group at our Laboratory for organic matter physics. The Laboratory for organic matter physics is active in the research of initial stages of growth of organic semiconductors (OS) on graphene, and in the area of transport properties of OS/graphene systems. We plan to extend the research to the area of graphene-based electronic devices and characterization of electronic properties of graphene and graphene/OS interfaces by means of time-resolved ultraviolet and x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy that will become available upon completion of a new facility at the University of Nova Gorica.

Fields of work and research:

Experimental solid state physics with the emphasis on graphene electronic and transport properties and/or graphene-based electronic devices.
