We are looking for a PhD candidate to join us at BCMaterials (Leioa/Bilbao, Spain) for a research project co-supervised by S. Lucarini and myself, R. Calvo. https://www.bcmaterials.net/en/join-us
The goal of the project is to develop new methods to generate and control strain in 2D materials: designing how an applied mechanical deformation is transferred into a desired strain state, and experimentally exploring the physical properties that emerge.
We welcome candidates from Physics, Materials Science, Engineering or related fields. Previous experience with 2D materials experiments, FEM/multiphysics modelling, instrumentation or scientific programming is a plus, but experience in all of these areas is not required.
Application deadline: 25 September 2026
Applications, including a CV, motivation letter and reference letters, can be submitted through the BCMaterials Join Us website: https://www.bcmaterials.net/en/join-us, under Ref. 2026-17 , “Predoctoral Position in the Electronic Properties of Two-Dimensional Materials under Controlled Deformation”.
