Description 

We are seeking a highly motivated, skilled and independent postdoctoral research fellow to work on the theory of non-collinear magnetism in low-dimensional electronic materials, with emphasis on magneto-electric effects and control of spin currents for spintronic/orbitronic applications.  The work will take place at the Institute for Functional Intelligent Materials of the National University of Singapore under the direction of Professors Giovanni Vignale (https://ifim.nus.edu.sg/people/giovanni-vignale/) and Antonio Castro Neto, and will involve a combination of analytical and numerical methods, including developments in non-collinear spin-density functional theory.

 Qualifications

• PhD in Physics
• A strong background in density functional theory, many-body theory and condensed matter physics
• Experience with numerical implementations of density functional theory

Application instructions

 Interested individuals should submit CV, a cover letter shortly describing their experience, and three letters of recommendation to [email protected]    An I-FIM staff member will come back to you shortly.
