About this position

Uppsala University is inviting applications for a postdoctoral researcher in materials theory in Sweden. The position is based in the Department of Physics and Astronomy, within the Division of Materials Theory, and focuses on solid-state theory, magnetism, electronic structures, topological phases, correlation phenomena, and materials relevant to green energy.

The postdoc will work in a larger theoretical research environment developing and applying methods for simulating magnetism, especially atomistic and multiscale simulations. The successful candidate will collaborate with leading experimental and theoretical groups at Uppsala University and other Swedish universities working on functional magnetic materials.

Eligibility highlights: a PhD in physics or equivalent is required; the degree must be completed by the time of the employment decision. Applicants are expected to have expertise in atomistic or micromagnetic simulation methods, experience in software development and applying these methods, and strong English communication skills. Experience with GPU-based development or multiscale simulation methods is considered a merit.

Employment details: temporary full-time position for two years, starting 1 December 2026 or as agreed, with placement in Uppsala. The post is not funded by an EU research programme.

How to apply: submit the application via the Uppsala University Varbi portal by 26 October 2026. The cover letter is replaced by application questions that must be answered during submission.

Funding details

Temporary full-time postdoctoral employment for two years under a central collective agreement. No stipend amount is stated. The position is not funded through an EU research framework programme.

What's required

PhD degree in physics or an equivalent foreign degree in physics is required, and the degree must be obtained by the time of the employment decision. Priority is given to applicants who completed the degree no more than three years before the application deadline, though exceptions may apply for special circumstances. Applicants should have expertise in atomistic or micromagnetic simulation methods, experience in both software development and applying these methods, and good spoken and written English. Experience developing atomistic or multiscale simulation methods, for example on GPU architecture, and applying them to magnetic phenomena is a merit.

How to apply

Apply through the Uppsala University Varbi application portal. Submit the application by 26 October 2026 and answer the application questions in place of a cover letter. Refer to the job ID UFV-PA 2026/2752.
