The NMR Research Unit at the University of Oulu, Finland, invites applications for a three-year PhD student position in spin physics and magnetic resonance theory.

With the NV^- point defect in diamond it is possible to realise a quantum sensor allowing NMR and EPR of individual nuclear and electron spins both within and outside of the diamond material. In this project we construct and apply a computational multiscale model for the magnetic and optical transitions in the NV^- centre, aimed at simulating existing and suggesting novel single-spin NMR and EPR experiments for ultra-sensitive spectroscopy, quantum magnetometry and quantum state control.

We require a MSc degree in physics, physical/theoretical/computational chemistry, materials science, or a related field, including experience in quantum mechanics and scientific computing. Knowledge of quantum chemistry, spin dynamics, molecular dynamics, or reaction kinetics is considered a merit.
