Postdoctoral position in condensed matter theory

Uppsala University

Research area and duties The postdoctoral researcher is expected to perform theoretical investigations as well as to do computationally-based modelling within the research area of materials physics, with a special focus on modelling of electrically induced spin and orbital torques, theory for light-induced spin and orbital currents, current-induced spin dynamics and modeling of electrically induced magnetization dynamics in spintronic elements. The research tasks include the development of theoretical models and computer simulation programs to simulate non-equilibrium orbital and spin currents and their dynamics in antiferromagnetic and topological spintronic materials that have a significant potential for applications in future energy-saving spintronic elements. Various computer programs (like first-principles (DFT) calculations and simulations of coupled spin and orbital dynamics) will be used. In the project that is headed by Prof. Peter Oppeneer the candidate is offered the possibility to work in an exciting modern research area in condensed matter physics and will have opportunities to interact and collaborate with leading experimental and theoretical groups as well as industry.

This recruitment is connected to the Wallenberg Initiative Materials Science for Sustainability (WISE, wise-materials.org). WISE, funded by the Knut and Alice Wallenberg Foundation, is the largest-ever investment in materials science in Sweden and will encompass major efforts at Sweden's foremost universities over the course of 10 years. The vision is a sustainable future through materials science. Read more: https: // wise-materials.org.

All early-stage researchers recruited into the WISE program will be a part of the WISE Graduate School, https: // wise-materials.org/research/graduate- school/, an ambitious nationwide program of seminars, courses, research visits, and other activities to promote a strong multi-disciplinary and international network between PhD students, postdocs, researchers, and industry.

Requirements The applicant is expected to have a PhD degree in theoretical or computational physics. The degree needs to be obtained by the time of the decision of employment. Those who have obtained a PhD degree three years prior to the application deadline are primarily considered for the employment. The starting point of the three-year frame period is the application deadline. Due to special circumstances, the degree may have been obtained earlier. The three-year period can be extended due to circumstances such as sick leave, parental leave, duties in labour unions, etc. The applicant is further expected to have excellent capabilities to perform research, as demonstrated through publications in peer-reviewed journals. Good communication skills both orally and in written English, and also the ability to work independently, are required.

Additional qualifications The applicant is further expected to be strongly motivated and a strong background in theoretical and condensed matter physics is desirable. Experience with large-scale computer simulations is also desirable, as well as the ability to perform computer code development.

About the employment The employment is a temporary position of 2 years according to central collective agreement. Scope of employment 100 %. Starting date 1st of June 2023 or as agreed. Placement: Uppsala, Sweden.

Application The application should consist of a cover letter, CV, publication list, certificates of relevant degrees, an outline of the PhD thesis and a short research statement describing the applicant's research experiences and interests. The applicant should also include the names of at least two reference persons.
