Back to Job listings...
Applications are invited for a postdoctoral position in Theoretical Nanomagnetism and Spin Dynamics in the condensed matter theory group at the Science Institute of the University of Iceland (SIUI), in Reykjavík, under the supervision of Dr. Pavel F. Bessarab. The research activities of the group include theory of magnetism, electronic structure theory, and spin dynamics theory.
The appointment is for two years starting preferably in April 2018.
Project summary
The successful applicant will be involved in the development of a theoretical framework for the optimal control of magnetization switching and design of new solutions for efficient, low-power data processing and data recording based on magnetic media. The project requires analytical calculations in combination with numerical work and programming. The project will be conducted in close collaboration with Dr. D.V. Berkov (General Numerics Research Lab, Jena, Germany) and Prof. S. Heinze (Kiel University, Kiel, Germany). Extended visits to their groups are anticipated within the project.
