Postdoctoral position in theoretical & computational condensed matter physics
at the Department of Physics and Astronomy, Division of Materials Theory, Uppsala University, Sweden.
Research area: theoretical and computational materials physics, with focus on modeling of ultrafast magnetic processes, theory of laser-induced magnetism and theory of magneto-plasmonics.
The research involves theoretical investigations and computational modeling of laser-induced non-equilibrium magnetization processes and spin currents in magnetic materials on ultrashort time scales. It further involves development of theoretical models as well as of computer programs for treating ultrafast optical control of magnetization in strong laser fields. The postdoctoral researcher can contribute to development of theory for ultrafast magnetism [1,2] and theory for magneto-plasmonics. Density-functional theory (DFT) based programs will be used for accurate description of magnetic materials and their opto-magnetic properties.

Prospective applicants are expected to be strongly motivated and have a PhD degree in theoretical or computational physics or materials science. Excellent capabilities to perform research should be demonstrated through publications in peer-reviewed journals. Experience with large-scale ab initio calculations is desirable, as is also the ability to perform computer code development. Good communication skills both orally and in written English, and also the ability to work independently, are required. For more details, see the link below.
The postdoctoral position is for two years. The candidate is offered the possibility to work in an exciting modern research area in physics and will have opportunities to interact and collaborate with leading experimental and theoretical groups.
More information concerning the position can be obtained from Professor Peter Oppeneer, e-mail: [email protected], phone +46-(0)18 471 3748.
You are welcome to submit your application electronically no later than 31 January 2017, UFV-PA 2016/3661. Use the link below to access the application form.
