PhD position in condensed matter theory
1 week ago
Are you interested in working with materals physics, with the support of competent and friendly colleagues in an international environment? Are you looking for an employer that invests in sustainable employeeship and offers safe, favourable working conditions? We welcome you to apply for a PhD position at Uppsala University.
The research conducted at the Department of Physics and Astronomy encompasses a wide range of physics topics, distributed over nine divisions. The department is located in the Ångström laboratory and employs nearly 400 people, 100 of whom are doctoral students. It offers a broad physics curriculum to undergraduate and graduate students, participation in nationally and internationally leading projects for researchers, and opportunities for partnership with industry and various outreach activities.

In this research area the PhD student will perform theoretical investigations and computationally-based modelling within condensed matter physics. Currently within the group there is a strong focus on ultrafast out-of-equilibrium dynamics, laser-induced ultrafast spin dynamics, generation of non-equilibrium orbital and spin currents, and simulations of superconductivity in real materials.
Duties
The research tasks include the development of theoretical models and of computer simulation programs. The areas to which the PhD student can contribute are: theory and modeling of light-induced spin and orbital currents, theory of laser-induced ultrafast spin dynamics and spin transport, theory for coupled out-of-equilibrium dynamics of electrons, magnons and phonons, theory of electron magnetic circular dichroism, and modeling of electrically induced magnetization dynamics in spintronic elements.
Various computer programs, like first-principles methods (DFT and TDDFT) and simulations of out-of-equilibrium 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.
Requirements To meet the entry requirements for doctoral studies, you must
- hold a Master's (second-cycle) degree in theoretical or computational physics or in materials science, or
- have completed at least 240 credits in higher education, with at least 60 credits at Master's level including an independent project worth at least 15 credits, or
- have acquired substantially equivalent knowledge in some other way.
The prospective applicant is expected to have a strong interest in modern theoretical physics and to be strongly motivated. Good knowledge of theoretical physics and of solid-state physics.
Additional qualifications
Excellent exam marks are considered an asset, as well as previous experience with electronic structure theory and/or experience with code development. Good communication skills both orally and in written English are desirable.
