Last Day of Applying: 2010-12-31

Phd-student in Physics, MNFYSI01

Type of employment: Limit of tenure, 4 years
Extent: 100 %
Location: Department of Physics, Division of Mathematical Physics, Lund
First day of employment: As soon as possible
Official Records Number: NPA 2010/434

Job assignments
Simulation of quantum kinetics in nanostructures using different techniques such as Nonequilibrium Green functions or density marix approaches. The aim of the project is to elaborate existing modelling capabilities in the group which are currently applied to Quantum Cascade Lasers and nanowire structures. Teaching undergraduate students up to 10% time will be a part of the duties.

Eligibility/Entry Requirements
Basic entry requirements for PhD studies are: a degree at advanced level containing at least 240 credits, of which at least 60 at advanced level, or corresponding proficiencies.

For special eligibility in Physics an independent project, equivalent to 30 credits is required, together with courses at advanced level that provide the relevant background for the planned area of research. The special eligibility may also have been achieved through other equivalent education.

For detailed requirements and the selection criteria see the general study plan for physics:

A good knowledge of English language is required.
Basis of Assessment
Regulations for employment as a postgraduate student can be found in the Swedish Statute Book (SFS 1998:80). Only those admitted to postgraduate studies can be appointed to such a position. When appointing applicants to such a position, first and foremost their ability to benefit from postgraduate studies must be taken into consideration. In addition to pursuing postgraduate studies, the doctoral student may also perform other duties, including research, teaching and administration, according to the specific regulations.

Documented previous experience with concepts of quantum kinetics and nanostructure physics as well as competence in computational procedures is considered as a strong merit.
