PhD Studentships in Chemical Physics: Stockholm University invites applications for PhD positions in Chemical Physics, focusing on X-ray spectroscopy of complex quantum materials. The project, led by Prof. Martin Beye, involves collaboration with universities and synchrotron facilities in Germany and Sweden. Successful candidates will contribute to advancing soft X-ray methods, specifically X-ray photon correlation spectroscopy (XPCS), to study domain fluctuations and phase transitions in materials like antiferromagnets and high-temperature superconductors.
PhD Studentships in Chemical Physics: X-ray Spectroscopy on Complex Quantum Materials
Study Area: Chemical Physics
Location: Stockholm University, Sweden
Eligibility/Qualification:
- Second-cycle degree or equivalent (240 higher education credits, including 60 credits in the second cycle).
- For Physics or Theoretical Physics PhD admission: BSc in Physics, including 60 credits of second-cycle physics courses, with at least 15 credits for a second-cycle degree project.
- Proficiency in English (English B in Swedish high school or equivalent).
Description: The PhD program at Stockholm University spans four years, including a minimum of 3 years of research and up to 1 year of coursework. The project involves collaboration and application of novel detectors and soft X-rays to study materials during phase transitions. Candidates with experience in X-ray techniques, programming, and data analysis are preferred.
