Details

We are looking for a postdoctoral candidate with expertise in theoretical quantum condensed matter to work on challenges related to superconducting spintronics. The position is funded by the Norwegian Research Council under the project “Flexible Superconducting Spintronics: Geometric control of low-dissipation, long-distance information processing (SuperFlex)”.

The project leader will be Dr. Sol H. Jacobsen, and the position reports to the head of the Department of Physics. Recent research activities can be found at the group website: sites.google.com/view/soljacobsen/home . Focus areas for the group are determining geometric effects on superconducting transport, and the fundamentals of light-matter cavity coupling.

The position will start in autumn/winter 2025, with some flexibility for negotiation with the candidate. The position has a duration of three years, with the possibility of extending up to one additional year to accommodate a research visit to an international collaborator, teaching duties at the Department of Physics, or the completion of Norwegian language and educational competence courses if required.

The candidate will join and become part of an internationally leading research environment in quantum condensed matter theory and experiments, embedded in the QuSpin section of the Department of Physics, which hosts a Center of Excellence in Quantum Spintronics.
