About this position

PhD opportunity at École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL), Switzerland in the Laboratory for Quantum Magnetism (LQM).

The project focuses on experimental quantum magnetism and microwave spectroscopy of rare-earth quantum magnets, with emphasis on entanglement between electronic and nuclear degrees of freedom, electro-nuclear states, and their manipulation by external magnetic fields and perturbations. The work sits at the intersection of physics and materials science, with strong relevance to solid-state systems, correlated electron materials, low-temperature measurements, high magnetic fields, neutron/X-ray/muon-based experiments, and theory/modeling support.

The position is hosted by the Laboratory for Quantum Magnetism at EPFL. The research environment includes access to state-of-the-art laboratories and large-scale facilities, and the PhD student will be part of the EPFL doctoral school in physics. Supervision is listed as Prof. Henrik M. Rønnow and Dr. Ivica Živković.

Eligibility: candidates should hold a Master’s degree in Physics or a related field, with a strong background in solid-state physics and quantum mechanics. Excellent spoken and written English is required, together with motivation to engage in challenging experimental research and collaborate within an international environment.

Funding/employment: this is a funded PhD employment position at EPFL. The appointment starts with a one-year probation period and may be extended up to four years total. No fixed stipend amount is stated in the post.

Application: prepare a CV, motivation letter, grade transcript, and contact details for three referees. Apply via the EPFL careers portal. For additional information, contact Dr. Ivica Živković at [email protected].
