We have an opening for a highly motivated postdoc position with outstanding qualifications in the field of computational magnetism and materials theory in the Division of Materials Theory in the group of Dr. (Docent) Heike Herper at Uppsala University, Sweden.  This position is embedded in the European research project MaMMoS funded through HORIZON EUROPE. The overall goal MaMMoS is to provide a magnetic multiscale modelling suite to accelerate materials development for magnetic motors, sensors, actuators etc.  The successful candidate will work for 2 years for the MaMMoS project focusing on ab initio modelling of magnetic phases relevant to the design of electric motors by our industrial partners.  The postdoctoral researcher will be responsible for performing high throughput ab initio and spin dynamics simulations. The postdoc will organise the workflow within the subproject hosted at Uppsala University and participate in setting up software tools to ensure the data transfer to the project partners.

Requirements:
PhD degree in physics (condensed matter) or equivalent
Strong background in theoretical magnetism
Experienced in handling ab initio methods and spin dynamics codes
Good programming skills (e.g. Python)
Excellent communication skills in English (written and oral)
Capable to independently organise the work in the project
Ability to work in a team
