PhD Scholarship in Nanomagnetism: The University of Luxembourg invites applications for a fully funded PhD position in Nanomagnetism. This research-focused scholarship centers on understanding the intrinsic and collective magnetic properties of nanoparticles and nanostructured assemblies using advanced theoretical modeling and polarized magnetic neutron scattering techniques, particularly Small-Angle Neutron Scattering (SANS). The project offers strong international collaboration, extensive research training, and travel support for conferences and research stays abroad.
