Join us!
We are actively recruiting two PhD students starting 09/2025 for
(A) scanning tunneling microscopy of two-dimensional quantum materials
(B) thin film growth and examination of novel flat band materials
Are you excited about quantum materials research and innovative microscopy techniques? You want to make a big impact in a new lab? Come join us!
We are looking for excellent and highly motivated candidates at all levels! Our interdisciplinary research combines condensed matter physics with elements from material science, and we strongly encourage candidates from various backgrounds to apply (physics, applied physics, material science & physical chemistry).
Our group stands for equal opportunity / affirmative action employment, and we especially welcome applications from women and minority candidates.
Postdoctoral candidates
We are always on the look-out for postdoctoral researchers with experience in molecular beam epitaxy and/or scanning tunnelling microscopy. Please get in touch to discuss your research opportunities with us. We will support your application for a prestigious postdoctoral fellowship. Below you can find links to a number of different funding opportunities.

PhD candidates
We always have openings for PhD candidates with a strong background in condensed matter physics or materials science, and possible projects can range from instrumentation development to the fabrication and study of 2D quantum materials. Get in touch with us for discussing your opportunities (email)!
Undergraduate students
We strongly encourage undergraduate students to get involved in cutting edge research with us early on! We can offer you various exciting, experimental research projects through the UROP program. We will continuously post opportunities at this place. Don’t hesitate to send us an email or just stop by at Prof. JÄCK’s office (4435) to discuss your interest and opportunities.
