Gothenburg, Västra Götaland, Sweden Chalmers tekniska högskola Full time

We are excited to announce an opening for a postdoctoral research role focusing on nonequilibrium statistical physics and condensed matter theory within the research team at Chalmers University of Technology. Our group delves into quantum materials, examining aspects like symmetry, topology of ordered phases of matter, non-equilibrium dynamics, and stochastic processes. The initial appointment for this role spans two years, with a potential extension to a third year. The position is available for an immediate start.

Project Focus
Join our research initiative dedicated to exploring material excitations far from equilibrium in the evolving field of ultrafast thermodynamics. By translating fundamental concepts such as entropy and heat into material excitations' time and length scales, you will develop tools in ultrafast material science and nonequilibrium statistical physics to establish an effective framework for thermal control of materials and characterization of phase transitions and metastability.

Division Insights
Our team constructs models and enhances our understanding of various materials and condensed matter systems, often leading to innovations in materials, technological devices, and structured media properties. Through a blend of theoretical, methodological, and computational approaches, we work closely with local and global experimental groups to drive advancements.

Key Responsibilities
You will actively participate in scientific projects with national and international collaborators, involving presentations, discussions, and publications. Additionally, you will have the opportunity to shape groundbreaking concepts in ultrafast thermodynamics. Furthermore, you are expected to enrich the group's focus areas by establishing a research line aligned with your expertise and interests.

We are dedicated to creating an inclusive and diverse research environment, encouraging applications from all backgrounds. We are committed to nurturing your career growth, providing avenues to broaden your skills. Moreover, we prioritize personal well-being, offering health and fitness benefits, along with flexible work options to suit individual requirements.

Requirements
To qualify for this role, you must possess a PhD in physics or a related field awarded no more than three years before the application deadline, as per the agreement with the Swedish Agency for Government Employers. Exceptions to the time limit are possible for extended periods due to parental leave, sick leave, or military service.

Moreover, experience in one of the following areas is advantageous: i) non-equilibrium physics, ii) condensed matter theory.

Proficiency in English, both spoken and written, is essential for effective scientific communication.

Contract Terms
This postdoctoral position entails full-time temporary employment for two years, with the potential for extension to a third year.
