Research Fellow – Quantum Materials Physics

About the role

The School of Electrical and Electronic Engineering at Nanyang Technological University is seeking a motivated Research Fellow to join the Belopolski Research Group (QuantumX Labs). The role focuses on the discovery and characterization of topological quantum materials for applications in electronics, photonics, quantum computing, catalysis, and biology.

Key responsibilities

• Synthesize atomically precise thin films of novel topological materials using molecular beam epitaxy (MBE).
• Develop in‑situ characterization and machine‑learning approaches to accelerate MBE material development.
• Integrate epitaxial films with exfoliated two‑dimensional materials and fabricate devices.
• Perform transport, Hall, non‑linear and magnetization measurements.
• Explore electronic structure via angle‑resolved photoemission spectroscopy (ARPES) at synchrotron facilities.
• Build theoretical models to interpret experimental data.
• Utilize nanofabrication facilities and collaborate with other research groups within the university.

Required profile

• Ph.D. in quantum physics, electrical engineering, or a closely related discipline.
• Experience with optics, two‑dimensional materials, or theoretical modeling is highly desirable.
• Strong motivation for independent research and interdisciplinary collaboration.

Required skills

• Molecular beam epitaxy (MBE)
