The selected candidates will join a dynamic research environment led by Prof. Johan Åkerman and will engage in projects funded by the Swedish Research Council aimed at advancing spintronic devices.
Key Responsibilities:
- Develop and investigate spin Hall nano-oscillators
- Conduct thin film deposition and magnetic characterizations
- Collaborate with other researchers and contribute to instrument development
- Publish research findings and present at conferences
How to Apply
Interested candidates must apply online through the University of Gothenburg’s recruitment portal. The application must include:
- Cover letter explaining your interest and qualifications for the position
- CV including any scientific publications
- Copy of exam certificates
- Contact information for two referees
The application should be written in English.
Last Date for Apply
Deadline: July 31, 2025
