Multiple theory PhD positions are available in the group of Marco Battiato at the Nanyang Technological University in Singapore.

The research will focus on

• the development of a massively parallel solver for the Boltzmann equation for strongly out-of-equilibrium states in real band structures and extended heterostructures;
• the study of ultrafast spin transport in metals and semicondcutors;
• absorption and production of THz radiation in heterostructures;
• thermalisation dynamics and transport in topological insulators and perovskites.

The candidate should have a degree in Physics or Mathematics, and is required to be highly motivated and with a strong interest in theoretical and/or computational physics and/or mathematics. Fluency in English is required.

The application must be submitted through the application portal (https://wis.ntu.edu.sg/webexe/owa/pga$rsh_main_grass.menu). Please consider that GRE and TOEFL (or equivalent) are required but can be avoided in special cases. The application portal is open from 1 Oct 2018 to 31 Jan 2019 for the Aug 2019 intake.
