Scientific Staff (post doc) at the Nanomagnetism and Magnonics

The University of Vienna (20 faculties and centres, 178 fields of study, approx. 9.800 members of staff, about 90.000 students) seeks to fill the position from 01.12.2019 of a


Reference number: 10124

The “Nanomagnetism and Magnonics” Research Group under the direction of Prof. Dr. Andrii Chumak at the Faculty of Physics, University of Vienna, is a young and ambitious team that conducts internationally leading research in the fields of spintronics and magnonics. The research scope of the group encompasses magnonics, magnon spintronics, quantum magnonics at low temperatures, and nonlinear spin-wave phenomena in nanoscale hybrid systems.

We are looking for a motivated PostDoc to extend our team and to join the ERC Starting Grant project “Nano-scale magnonic circuits for novel computing systems (MagnonCircuits)”. The strategic goal of the proposed MagnonCircuits research program is to make a transformative change in the data processing paradigm from traditional electronics to magnon spintronics. The candidate is expected to contribute to the next further transfer achievements of the MagnonCircuits achievements from the classical to quantum physics at low temperatures. Thus, an expertise either in spin-wave physics or in low-temperature quantum physics is highly desirable.

The position is aimed to be filled from December 1st 2019.

For the details please see the web page https://nanomag.univie.ac.at/research/nanoscale-magnonic-circuits/ and please contact Prof. Dr. Andrii Chumak andrii.chumak@univie.ac.at
