About this position

Helmholtz-Zentrum Dresden-Rossendorf (HZDR) is offering a PhD Student position in the Department of Magnetism at the Institute for Ion Beam Physics and Materials Research in Dresden, Germany. The project focuses on charge-to-spin interconversion and magnetotransport in altermagnetic thin films, placing the successful candidate at the intersection of spintronics, magnetism, and advanced thin-film materials research.

The PhD researcher will work on the deposition and optimization of high-quality altermagnetic thin films and heterostructures, followed by structural and magnetic characterization. The project also involves investigating magnetotransport phenomena and charge-to-spin interconversion, with the broader aim of exploring the fundamental spintronic properties of altermagnetic materials. This is a strong fit for candidates interested in experimental condensed-matter physics, functional materials, and next-generation information technologies based on electrical and magnetic functionalities.

HZDR describes a vibrant, international research environment with scientific excellence, extensive professional networking opportunities, and a structured PhD program that includes continuing education and networking. The position is embedded in a large research institution with broad expertise in energy, health, and matter, and offers a collaborative and diverse workplace in Dresden.

Eligibility highlights include a completed Master’s degree or Diploma in experimental physics or a related field, plus prior experience in electrical transport, magnetism, and thin-film preparation/characterization. The post also requires strong teamwork skills and proficiency in both German and English.

The appointment comes with salary and social benefits under the public-sector collective agreement TVöD-Bund, including 30 days of paid holiday leave and a company pension scheme (VBL). Depending on personal qualifications, the candidate may be classified in pay group 13. Additional work-life balance features include part-time options, mobile working, and flexible hours.

The application deadline is 2026-11-15. Applicants should submit a complete set of documents, including cover letter, CV, and diplomas/transcripts, via the online application system.
