Postdoc (f/m/d) for the theoretical investigation of quantum magnetic systems
Postdoc (f / m / d) for the theoretical investigation of quantum magnetic systems Reference No. : QM / 17 Our team studies strongly correlated electron systems with a special focus on quantum magnetism.
We are particularly interested in a theoretical understanding of frustrated spin systems, possibly hosting novel types of quantum states such as spin liquids.
In collaboration with our experimental colleagues at Helmholtz-Zentrum Berlin, we aim to transfer our knowledge to real materials, to develop a microscopic understanding of magnetism in nature. Your Tasks
You develop and apply analytical and numerical methods for the investigation of novel quantum magnetic states of matter in frustrated spin systems.
Methods to be applied include, e.g., field theory approaches, exact diagonalization, renormalization group techniques or Monte-Carlo methods.
- You investigate topological properties of magnetic quantum states such as fractional quasiparticle excitations in spin liquids.
- You transfer the obtained knowledge to quantum magnetic materials
- You collaborate with experimental groups within and outside the Helmholtz-Zentrum Berlin and work in close collaboration with the Department for Physics at Freie Universität Berlin and its research groups. Your Profile
- Doctoral degree in theoretical solid state physics
- Profound knowledge in the field of quantum magnetism
- Extensive experience with analytical and / or numerical methods in solid state physics. Your Benefits at HZB
- Exciting research in the science metropolis Berlin
- Flexible work hours
- Mobile working on up to three days / week
- Comprehensive counselling services for family and career
- Health management and company sports programmes
- Subsidy for public transport (Deutschlandticket Job)
- And a team that looks forward to meeting you! Fixed term contract for 30 months. The salary is based on the Collective Agreement for the German Public Service (TVöD-Bund).
How to apply Please upload the following documents with your application :
- Motivation letter describing your scientific background and research interests
- Curriculum vitae (CV) including details of education, career stages, publications, research experience and contact details of at least two scientific references
- Scientific certifications We look forward to receiving your application via our application management system by 13.12.
- For reasons of data protection regulations, we are unfortunately unable to consider applications that reach us by other means (such as email or mail) in the application process.
We very much want our workplace to be diverse, and welcome applications from people with different backgrounds. It is our mission to promote equal opportunities and to improve women’s representation in the workforce.
We are therefore very interested in receiving applications from women. Where the qualifications are met, we will give preference to people with disabilities.
