Postdoctoral Materials Physics, Astrophysics: ETH Zurich

Postdoctoral position in searching for light dark matter through its interaction with electrons in solids at the ETH Zurich, Switzerland.

The Materials Theory Group at ETH Zurich has the following opening for a postdoctoral research position n collaboration with Prof. Nicola Spaldin.

Overview

The group’s research field is the development and application of electronic structure methods for understanding and predicting novel functional materials and their interactions with external probes, with a particular focus on complex oxides and materials with multiple competing or cooperating instabilities.

This project is an ongoing collaboration with the group of Riccardo Catena at Chalmers University in Goteborg, Sweden.

Requirements

Candidates for this position should preferably have some background both in computational/theoretical materials physics and in astrophysics or high-energy physics and should be enthusiastic about using electronic structure methods to solve interesting and challenging physical problems.

Application Procedure

We look forward to receiving your online application as a single pdf with the following documents:

1. A short (one page or less) statement of your research interests and your motivation for joining the group
2. CV
3. University degree(s)
4. Names and contact information of at least two academic recommenders

Deadline: While there is no deadline for applications we suggest applying by the end of March to ensure full consideration. Incoming applications will be constantly reviewed until a suitable candidate has been identified.
