We are looking for an outstanding and highly motivated postdoctoral candidate in the field of theoretical magnetism and spin dynamics simulations. The successful candidate will work (24 months) for the ERC Starting Grant 2D-SMARTiES, being part of the 2D Smart Materials Lab at the Institute of Molecular Science (ICMol) of the University of València, which is a multidisciplinary research institute committed with excellence.

Project Description: The mission of 2D-SMARTiES is to open a new field of research: Molecular 2D Magnonics. In particular, we aim to develop a general computational methodology as a driving force to create new materials. These materials are formed by smart molecules, that can interact with external stimuli such as light, deposited on the surface of a 2D magnetic system for applications in magnonics. 

Requirements and Expertise:

• Applicants must have a PhD in Condensed Matter Physics or equivalent
• A strong background and interest on theoretical magnetism, spin hamiltonians, spin dynamics and their simulation.
• Practical knowledge in programming and electronic structure codes.
• Strong oral and written communication skills in English. 

How to apply? Applications should be addressed to José J. Baldoví and sent in one single PDF document via e-mail ([email protected]). This file should include a motivation letter, CV, list of publications, and contact details of references. We will consider applications until the November 15^th. Selected candidates will be interviewed online between November-December 2023.
