Duties
The researcher will be part of a larger theoretical team focusing on research of magnetic materials and their dynamics. The research involves development and application of multiscale magnetization dynamics, and the magneto-mechanical coupling at the micromagnetic length scale. The studies involve dynamics of domain walls, skyrmions, and/or other topological excitations, and the influence of magneto-mechanical coupling. The studies require good analytical as well as numerical skills of a successful candidate.

Requirements
The applicant is expected to have a PhD degree in Physics or Applied Mathematics, with a good background in solid-state physics and theory in general. The applicant is expected to have expertise in programming and/or analytical tools connected to theory of magnetism and electronic structure theory.

Additional qualifications
Experience with micromagnetic simulations, applied to magnetic materials is a required merit.

About the employment
The employment is a temporary position for two years according to central collective agreement. Scope of employment 100 %. Starting date 01-11-2021 or as agreed. Placement Uppsala. Individually negotiated salary.

About the application
The application should include a statement of research interest, CV, certificates of exams, degrees and grades, a copy of the PhD thesis, or equivalent, published articles and other relevant materials, if available. Also, letter(s) of recommendation can be included.
