Descripción de la oferta
The Nanoscience Cooperative Research Center, CIC nano GUNE, located in Donostia / San Sebastian, Basque Country (Spain) is currently seeking JUNIOR GROUP LEADERS Nan GUNE is a research center devoted to conducting world‑class nanoscience research for a competitive growth of the Basque Country. Nan GUNE is a member of the Basque Research and Technology Alliance (BRTA) and has been recognized for the third consecutive time by the Spanish Research Agency as a María de Maeztu Unit of Excellence. We offer a 4-year appointment, funding for one postdoctoral researcher, consumables and travel support, advanced infrastructure, scientific independence, and support for grant applications. Successful candidates will develop their own research line and pursue external funding, with potential longer‑term career opportunities. Research areas Quantum Nanoscience: including, but not limited to, quantum materials, quantum transport, quantum optics and photonics, quantum sensing, superconducting and spin‑based devices, low‑dimensional and topological systems, and quantum hardware. Nanomedicine: including, but not limited to, nanobiotechnology, biomolecular engineering, nanoscale biophysics, biomaterials, diagnostics, and bio‑inspired nanosystems. Proposals that are original, ambitious, and complementary to nano GUNE's existing activity are particularly encouraged. We will especially value research programs that exploit our experimental infrastructure, including our 300 m² cleanroom for nanofabrication, 15 ultra‑low‑noise laboratories, and shared platforms for electron microscopy, nanoscale imaging and spectroscopy, thin‑film growth, and nanodevice characterization. Career perspective Junior Group Leaders are expected to conduct frontier research, apply to the next available Ikerbasque Research Fellow call, and seek competitive funding such as the ERC Starting Grant. Establishing a successful independent research line may subsequently open a pathway to a permanent position, in coordination with the Ikerbasque program for the consolidation of research talent in the Basque Country. Eligibility and selection criteria Candidates must hold a Ph. D. in Physics, Chemistry, Materials Science, Engineering, Biology, or a related discipline, and must be within the ERC Starting Grant eligibility window at the application deadline. Extensions recognized under ERC rules, including parental leave and long‑term illness, will be taken into
