Department of Physics and Materials Science. Starting date: September 2008.
Within the division for materials theory, at the Dept. Physics and Materials Science, Uppsala Univeristy, theoretical studies are performed on e.g. materials properties, magnetism, non-equilibrium, transport. Studies of nanoscale system under non-equilibrium conditions are approached by means of modern field theoretical methods in order to described properties that arise due to dimension, geometry, interactions between particles, back-action, etc.
The Ph. D. student is expected to work with timely problems within nanoscience and materials theory. The work can be directed towards, e.g. spintronics, molecular electronics, nano magnetism, inelastic scattering effects, theoretical epidemiology, and network theory.
The PhD position is for four years, extendable to a maximum of five years including department duties at a level of at most 20% (typically teaching). Further information: http://www.physics.uu.se/education/gradU/
