Offer Description
We welcome applications for a postdoctoral research position in condensed matter theory within the research group led by Matthias Geilhufe at Chalmers University of Technology. Geilhufe group primarily focuses on quantum materials, exploring aspects such as the symmetry and topology of ordered phases of matter, non-equilibrium dynamics, and stochastic processes in materials. The initial appointment for this position is for a duration of 2 years, with possibility of extension to a third year. The starting date is as soon as possible.
Project description
This opportunity is part of a broader research initiative centered on investigating thermodynamic properties in laser-excited materials. The overarching goal is to study the entropy and heat production associated with material excitations (such as phonons and magnons) in the presence of thermal and quantum noise. The goal is to use this information for understanding the complex phase diagram of materials outside of equilibrium.
Information about the division
The division of Condensed Matter and Materials Theory constructs models for and develops an understanding of a large variety of materials and other condensed matter systems, sometimes leading to new materials, novel technological devices, or structured media with properties beyond those occurring naturally. To this end, we combine theoretical, methodological and computational techniques, often in close collaboration with local and international experimental groups.
Major responsibilities
You will actively contribute to scientific projects alongside national and international collaborators, engaging in presentations, discussions, and publications. Additionally, you will have the chance to shape innovative concepts within the emerging field of ultrafast thermodynamics. Furthermore, we anticipate you will strengthen the group's focus areas by establishing an individual research line that aligns with your background and interests.
We are dedicated to fostering a diverse and inclusive research environment, welcoming applicants from all backgrounds. We are committed to supporting your career development and providing opportunities to broaden your expertise. Moreover, we prioritize personal well-being, offering benefits for health and fitness activities, along with flexible part-time work options to accommodate individual needs.
Qualifications
To be eligible for this position, you should hold a PhD degree in physics or a related field, or be in the process of completing your PhD. Additionally, experience in one of the following areas is considered advantageous: i) non-equilibrium physics, ii) stochastic thermodynamics, iii) open quantum systems, iv) many-body/condensed matter theory. Proficiency in English, both oral and written, is crucial for effective scientific communication.
To qualify for the position of postdoc, you must hold a doctoral degree awarded no more than three years prior to the application deadline (according to the current agreement with the Swedish Agency for Government Employers). Exceptions from the 3-year limit can be made for longer periods resulting from parental leave, sick leave or military service*.
The position requires sound verbal and written communication skills in English. Swedish is not a requirement but Chalmers offers Swedish courses.
You are expected to be somewhat accustomed to teaching, and to demonstrate good potential within research and education.
* The date shown in your doctoral degree certificate is the date we use, as this is the date you have met all requirements for the doctoral degree.
Contract terms
This postdoc position is a full-time temporary employment for a duration of 2 years, with possibility of extension to a third year. The starting date is as soon as possible.
