Research Associate, PhD Student: Physics or Chemistry (12 Positions) 2117 views

Research Associate/PhD Student (Physics or Chemistry) at the At TU Dresden, the Collaborative Research Center (SFB) 1143 “Correlated Magnetism: From Frustration To Topology” invites applications, subject for granted funds.

Open Positions: 12

Time Span: 01 Jan 2019 for 3 years

Research / Subjects: Mathematics / Natural Sciences / Physics / Chemistry

Description

Tasks:

The SFB is devoted to the investigation of materials and models with strong electronic correlations, focusing on frustrated magnetism and topological states of matter. Positions are available in the fields:

1. Experimental Condensed Matter Physics (6 positions),
2. Theoretical Condensed Matter Physics (3 positions),
3. Inorganic Chemistry (3 positions).

Scientific tasks within the SFB encompass synthesis of novel materials, crystal growth, measurements of thermodynamic and transport properties, also under extreme conditions, neutron and electron spectroscopy, scanning probe microscopy and spectroscopy, nuclear magnetic resonance measurements, numerical simulations of quantum spin systems, and calculations of thermodynamic and transport properties using microscopic or field-theoretic methods.

Application Procedure

Please send complete application with CV, overview of research interests, list of publications, copy of documentation of the highest academic degree earned, and the names and addresses of at least two possible references until 13.12.2018 (stamped arrival date of the university central mail service applies) preferably via the TU Dresden SecureMail Portal (see elow) by sending it as a single pdf document to: sfb1143@tu-dresden.de or by regular mail to: TU Dresden, Fakultät Physik, Institut für Theoretische Physik, Herrn Prof. Dr. Matthias Vojta, Helmholtzstr. 10, 01069 Dresden.
