Current vacancies

Research Associate in Condensed Matter Physics

Vacancy Reference No: KA01130
Salary: £27,854 - £36,298 p.a.
Limit of tenure: 30st September 2015
Closing date: 14th May 2013

Applications are invited for an EPSRC funded post doctoral research position in condensed matter theory, starting 1st October 2013. This post is to work with Dr Claudio Castelnovo on "Emergence and out-of-equilibrium phenomena in frustrated magnets". Possible research topics include out-of-equilibrium properties of spin ice materials and other pyrochlore oxides, quantum spin ice and quantum spin liquids, interplay of itinerant electrons and localised magnetic moments (e.g. iridate-inspired).

The candidate must have completed or be close to completing a doctoral training in physics. Desirable attributes include evidence of knowledge and proficiency in analytical and / or numerical techniques used in condensed matter physics; good IT, problem solving and communication skills; the ability to work within a team and to ability to manage own workload; previous research experience in the area of magnetic and / or strongly correlated systems.

The Theory of Condensed Matter group provides an environment to pursue collaborative and/or independent research. Further information on the research activities of the group are available from http://www.tcm.phy.cam.ac.uk.

Applications together with a curriculum vitae, list of publications, at least two letters of recommendation, a brief summary of research interests (optional), and parts I and III of the CHRIS/6 cover sheet (see http://www.admin.cam.ac.uk/offices/hr/Forms/chris6/) should be sent to Mr David Taylor, Theory of Condensed Matter Group, The Cavendish Laboratory, J J Thomson Avenue, Cambridge CB3 0HE, or by email: dst28@cam.ac.uk
