Postdoctoral Researcher in Magnetic Nanostructures for Biomedical Applications
Materials science and technology are our passion. With our cutting-edge research, Empa's around 1,100 employees make essential contributions to the well-being of society for a future worth living. Empa is a research institution of the ETH Domain.
Our
Magnetic & Functional Thin Films Group
designs and fabricates magnetic and functional thin films with tailored properties arising from nanoscale effects. These films are used in applications ranging from magnetoelectronic devices to biomedical coatings.
Your tasks
This project aims to establish magnetic disk particles (MDPs) at the physical limit of performance for magnetic hyperthermia (MHT), magnetic particle imaging (MPI), and sensing applications. The position offers a unique opportunity to bridge fundamental magnetism, advanced nanofabrication, and translational biomedical research. The successful candidate will be based at Empa and play a central role in designing and realizing optimized magnetic multilayer systems.
