Quantum Solid State Physics Research Group at NTT Basic Research Labs (NTT-BRL) is seeking for highly motivated researchers for both permanent and postdoc positions. For postdoctoral research, we currently have open positions for the project(s) described below. There are also opportunities for internship students and visiting professors, with some support from NTT-BRL. Interested students, researchers, and professors should contact Dr. Norio Kumada. Detailed information about recruitment and necessary documents can be found at NTT-BRL web site
Plasmons and ultrafast electric transport
We study THz charge dynamics in solid-state materials using on-chip THz spectroscopy and Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy. While our current main target is graphene plasmonics, we plan to apply these techniques to other materials as well.
Principal investigator: Dr. Norio Kumada
Quantum transport in two-dimensional materials
We seek a highly motivated post-doctoral researcher to work with us on exploring novel transport phenomena in two-dimensional (2D) van der Waals materials. Our current projects mainly focus on superconductivity in transition metal dichalcogenides, but we are planning to extend our target to other 2D superconductors, magnetic 2D materials and quantum spin liquids for uncovering and modulating their exotic properties.
Principal investigator: Dr. Taro Wakamura
