Research Associate and Doctoral Student in Theoretical Physics | Wissensch. Mitarbeiter*in (Doktorand*in) (m,w,d) / Research associate (doctoral student)(m-f-d)

Job Summary

This part-time (75%) research position at Martin Luther University Halle-Wittenberg offers a three-year opportunity to contribute to the 'Ultrafast Spin Dynamics' Collaborative Research Center (TRR 227). The successful candidate will focus on the theoretical investigation of spin and orbital transport phenomena induced by electromagnetic pulses. Day-to-day responsibilities include developing analytical transport equations, programming effective solvers for transport calculations in solids, and modeling quasi-two-dimensional electronic systems using tight-binding methods. Applicants must hold a Master’s degree in Physics and possess strong programming skills alongside deep knowledge of solid-state physics. This role is highly attractive for aspiring researchers as it provides a structured doctoral training program, access to an interdisciplinary international network, and excellent scientific infrastructure. The position is integrated into a family-friendly, diverse academic environment that supports international visibility through workshops and conferences, making it an ideal platform for completing a PhD in a cutting-edge field of physics.
