PhD Position in Quantum Many-Body Phenomena in 2D Magnets and Topological Materials Norwegian University of Science and Technology in Norway

This three-year PhD position is offered at the Center of Quantum Spintronics, Department of Physics, Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU), Trondheim, Norway. The successful candidate will join a vibrant international research environment focused on quantum condensed matter theory and experiments. The research project centers on exploring quantum many-body phenomena in emerging two-dimensional magnets, unconventional magnetic systems, and topological materials. The candidate will develop and apply advanced computational techniques, including time-dependent density functional theory (TDDFT), density functional theory (DFT), post-DFT analyses, and spin dynamics simulations, to investigate the properties and behaviors of quantum materials.

The Center of Quantum Spintronics at NTNU is renowned for its cutting-edge research in quantum materials and spintronics, providing access to state-of-the-art facilities and collaboration opportunities with leading scientists in the field. The position offers a unique opportunity to contribute to fundamental research in quantum magnetism and topological phenomena, with potential applications in future quantum technologies.

Applicants should possess a master's degree in physics or a closely related discipline, with a strong background in computational physics and quantum theory. Experience with DFT, TDDFT, and spin dynamics simulations is highly desirable. The ability to work independently and as part of an international team, as well as proficiency in English, is required. The position does not specify a GPA or language test requirement, but candidates should demonstrate academic excellence and motivation for research.

Funding details are not specified in the announcement. Interested candidates should apply through the provided application link, submitting a CV, cover letter, and relevant academic documents. For further information, applicants are encouraged to consult the Center of Quantum Spintronics or NTNU's official application portal.
