Shantanu Mishra

A new PhD position is available in the laboratory of Dr. Shantanu Mishra, Assistant Professor of Physics at Chalmers University of Technology, Gothenburg, Sweden. The research focuses on fundamental studies of quantum magnetism at the atomic scale using low-temperature and atomic-resolution scanning probe microscopy techniques, including scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) and atomic force microscopy (AFM). The project aims to image, manipulate, and study single atoms and molecules on surfaces, contributing to the understanding of quantum phenomena and surface science. Chalmers University of Technology offers a vibrant research environment in a coastal city known for its high quality of life and access to nature. The position is ideal for candidates with a strong background in physics, nanoscience, or related fields, and an interest in experimental research at the atomic scale. The application deadline is 16 November 2025, with an ideal start date in the first half of 2026. Funding details are not specified but PhD positions at Chalmers are typically fully funded. Interested candidates should review the project description and application procedure via the provided link and contact Dr. Mishra for further information.
