We are opening a position for a fully paid ambitious PhD student to be part of a project exploring the magnon-phonon coupling in oxide nanostructures.

The aim of the candidate is to perform appropriate nanostructuring and measurements of thin oxide films characterising magnon-phonon coupling through both local electrical measurements (STM based point contact spectroscopy) as well as imaging utilising Synchrotron methods. The research will be performed in a combined local at NTNU and international team.

The local team is a collaboration between the department of physics / QuSpin (Professor Erik Wahlström - 1 PhD student and 1 PostDoc) and department of electronic systems and the oxide electronics group (Professor Thomas Tybell, 1 PhD student). Internationally the group will collaborate with Stockholm University, University of Barcelona and JAIST Kanazawa.

The position reports to Head of department.
