The Laboratory for the Mechanism of Superconductivity (LMS) at Southern University of Science and Technology (SUSTech) and jointly at Quantum Science Center of Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area (QSC), in Shenzhen, China, invites applications for Research Asocciate Professors, Research Assistant Professors, Postdocs, PhD students (under SUSTech) and Associate researchers and Assistant Researchers (under QSC (quantumsc.cn)).

Our main research goal is to understand the mechanism of high-temperature superconductivity. With the help of atomic-level thin film deposition technique, we rationally design and construct new superconducting materials, with the aim of further increasing the superconducting transition temperature and creating new superconducting quantum devices. While operating independently, the group works in close collaboration with other groups within the larger team of high-temperature superconductivity physics research at Tsinghua and SUSTech with a vision to solving major scientific problems. Our main experimental tools include: oxide molecular beam epitaxy (OMBE), pulsed laser deposition (PLD), angle-resolved photoelectron spectroscopy (ARPES), low-temperature quantum transport and other mesophysical measurements, atomic-level resolution atomic force microscopy (AFM), and high-intensity high-resolution X-ray diffraction (XRD).
