About this position
The Doctoral Position in Spintronics at the University of Gothenburg is based in the Department of Physics in central Gothenburg, within an active international research environment with broad collaborations. The department’s research spans atomic and molecular physics, condensed matter physics, spintronics, complex systems, and biophysics, and it is connected to the Gothenburg Physics Centre together with nearby university partners and Chalmers University of Technology.
This doctoral project is centered on the investigation of magnetodynamics in thin films, nanostructures, and spin-Hall nano-oscillators. The PhD student will contribute to research on the fabrication and characterization of nanoelectronic components, with a strong emphasis on Brillouin light scattering experiments and modelling. The work combines optical experiments with advanced magnetodynamic theory and optical models, and includes micro-focused BLS measurements, micromagnetic simulations, and magnetoelastic numerical simulations.
The position sits in Professor Johan Åkerman’s spintronics research group, one of the department’s leading research areas. The group studies magnetodynamic phenomena, spin and orbital angular momenta, nanocomponent fabrication, and the physics of spintronic oscillators. Its research also explores unconventional data-hardware concepts such as neuromorphic systems, reservoir computing, and Ising machines.
The group has strong expertise in magnetic, electrical, and optical characterization techniques, especially micro-focused BLS, and uses GPU-accelerated micromagnetic simulations alongside experiments to study and develop spin-Hall oscillators. The successful candidate is expected to take an active role in the BLS laboratory and contribute to its ongoing development, while working closely with colleagues on experiment design, data interpretation, publications, and conference presentations.
The doctoral education is full-time for four years, with possible departmental duties of up to 20% over the period of study.

What's required
The project requires knowledge of and interest in condensed matter physics, specifically nanomagnetism, spintronics, and experimental research. Strongly meriting experience includes Brillouin light scattering microscopy, advanced modelling and micromagnetic simulations, BLS modelling and magnetoelastic dynamics, artificial intelligence and machine learning for physical modelling or data analysis, magnetic characterization such as FMR or ST-FMR, and nanofabrication of spintronic components. Good skills in Python or MATLAB, including AI/ML libraries, and LabVIEW for instrument control, simulations, and data analysis are also advantageous.
