Postdoctoral Fellow in Superconducting Nanoelectronics
Quantum Nanoelectronics Laboratory Moscow Institute of Electronics and Mathematics HSE University Moscow, Russia
Ferromagnetic superconductors for memory and logic applications
Ferromagnetic superconductors are novel materials that display intrinsic coexistence of ferromagnetism and superconductivity. They attract significant interest due to possible memory and logic applications in superconducting nanoelectronics. The research project aims to study theoretically the vortex dynamics in multiband ferromagnetic superconductors and the magnetic response that is the cornerstone characteristic of ferromagnetic superconductors for their applications. Although the planned activity is theoretical, close contact with the experimental group of Prof. Konstantin Arutyunov is sought.
About HSE University
The Higher School of Economics (HSE University) is a young, dynamic and fast-growing Russian research university. Over the past 25 years, HSE University has become a leader in Russian education, while also being recognized globally.
For instance, we were the first state-run university in Russia to begin recruiting on the international academic market. We aim at being a university with a highly attuned approach to training new professionals. Therefore, we are eager to hire people with real experience, as well as basic and applied knowledge. Committed to high-quality research, HSE University now has more than 100 research institutes and centres and over 30 international research laboratories collaborating with international specialists from all over the world.
Requirements
The general requirements for the postdoctoral fellowship positions are the following:
Candidates must hold a recent PhD in the field of Quantum physics, Condensed matter physics, Theoretical physics or related areas which was awarded over the last 5 years or received before starting work at HSE in a relevant field by an internationally recognized university and has been assessed by external reviewers as having the potential to pursue research that is publishable in leading peer-reviewed journals;Candidates should have a strong background in numerical simulations, theoretical condensed matter physics and the ability to work in a team;Fluent English is an obligatory condition as research and other activities are conducted in English.
