Research position in Experimental Physics

The Interface Physics group uses various types of Scanning Probe Microscopy, Surface X-Ray Diffraction, and other techniques to investigate the structure and dynamic behavior of surfaces and interfaces. Most of the special-purpose instruments used in this research are home-built. Topics that we are working on at present include catalysis, nanotribology, deposition of graphene and other thin films,and nanobiology.

We offer a challenging environment to develop on-the-job the skills and networks that a successful academic needs. Appointment will be according to the terms of the Collective Labour Agreement of Dutch Universities (CAO Nederlandse Universiteiten), for a period of one year with an extension of three years after positive evaluation of capabilities and compatibility. Ultimately the appointment must lead to a completion of a PhD thesis. During your appointment you will be supervised by Dr. M.J. Rost as your co-promotor. Prof. J.W.M. Frenken will be you promotor.

The gross monthly salary is set on € 2.042,- in the first year up to € 2612,- in year four. An appointment with Leiden University includes a pension build-up and facilitates other benefits such as an annual holiday premium of 8% and an end-of-year premium of 8.3%.
