The Institute for Condensed Matter and Complex Systems (ICMCS) at the University of Edinburgh and the Higgs Centre for Theoretical Physics is inviting applications for a postdoctoral position on theoretical nanoscale magnetism. The successful candidate will be based at the group of Dr Elton Santos at the ICMCS in Edinburgh, UK.
The project is on forefront of several research topics on the electronic and magnetic properties of advanced energy materials. In particular, on the next generation of compounds for information platforms including 2D sheets, van der Waals interfaces, Weyl-semimetals, topological insulators and magnetic twisted layers. This position provides a unique opportunity to explore fundamentals research in the emerging area of power-efficient device platforms which aims to make smart devices even smarter. The candidate will work actively with ongoing experimental collaborators in the Max Planck Institute (Stuttgart), National University of Singapore, Cornell University, Harvard University and UC Berkeley.
The position has focus on method developments, optimizing and applying new theoretical techniques to simulate novel magnetic phenomena. The candidate will join an interdisciplinary team with expertise on strongly correlated methods, Monte Carlo techniques and Landau-Lifshitz-Gilbert equation approaches. The candidate will also be involved at the Higgs Centre for Theoretical Physics with the Computational Materials Physics group for further collaborations and projects.
The initial appointment is for two years with the possibility to be renewed up to 3 years subject to performance and mutual agreement.
