The PhD position is located in the Emmy-Noether group "Microscale and Nanoscale Physics of Topological Metals" led by Maxim Breitkreiz. The group is part of the Dahlem Center for Complex Quantum Systems, which research focus is quantum-theoretical condensed matter physics in its fullest range.

Furthermore, the Emmy-Noether group is involved in the transregional Collaborative Research Center CRC 183 "Entangled States of Matter" and the Center for Chiral Electronics. This embedding of the PhD position offers an excellent research environment with particularly diverse opportunities for a creative research practice with international collaborations, research residencies, soft-skill workshops, participation and active organization of conferences and summer schools.

Job Description

Within this PhD project you will conduct fundamental research within the field of theoretical condensed matter physics. Of particular interest is the exploration of chirality induced spin selectivity. Methodologically the tasks can be tackled using analytical, semi-analytical, or numerical methods.

Requirements

• University degree (M.Sc. level), preferably in theoretical physics

Desirable

• Fluency in English (full professional level)
• Ability to penetrate into complex research fields
• Willingness to collaborate with internal and external research groups in experimental and theoretical physics
• Very good university degree in theoretical physics
• Excellent knowledge of theoretical condensed matter physics
• Experience with LaTeX, Wolfram Mathematica, Python
