Research Associate in Theoretical Solid State Physics | Wissenschaftlichen Mitarbeiterin*Mitarbeiters (m-w-d)/ Research Associate (m-f-d)

Job Summary

This is a unique opportunity for a highly motivated Research Associate to join the Center for Chiral Electronics (CCE) at Martin-Luther-Universität Halle-Wittenberg on a 4-year, 75% part-time contract. The role focuses on cutting-edge theoretical solid-state physics, specifically researching chirality as a key resource for next-generation electronic and quantum technologies. Day-to-day tasks involve advanced modeling of chiral nanowires and crystals using effective and tight-binding models, calculating magnetoelectric and non-reciprocal transport properties (including spin, orbital, and light-induced phenomena), and developing analytical and numerical simulations. The ideal candidate holds a Master's degree in Physics, possesses excellent programming and analytical skills, and has very strong knowledge of theoretical solid-state physics and transport theory. The position offers integration into an international, interdisciplinary network, structured doctoral training opportunities, and the chance to publish and present scientific results, contributing to fundamental insights for advanced information processing.
