Heavy fermion thin films
The project. Bulk crystals can display heavy fermion behaviour, where the effective mass of mobile carriers can be up to 1000 times larger than the bare electron mass due to electron-electron interactions. Read more
From maximal to minimal dissipation. A new paradigm in superconductivity
The project. A new class of superconducting materials has emerged that host a metallic (resistive) state that fails to conform to the standard models of metallic behaviour, displaying strong signatures of incoherent transport. Read more
Electronic Structure Beyond Density Functional Theory and its Application to Momentum-Resolved Spectroscopies
The project. Understanding the complex behaviour of electrons in solids is an immensely difficult task, but one which is hugely important for future technological exploitation. Read more
Laser Astrocomb Development for the Extremely Large Telescope (EPS2022/24)
When construction is completed by the end of the decade, the Extremely Large Telescope (ELT) will be the world's largest telescope. Read more
Ph.D. student for precision interferometry in gravitational wave detectors
The Max Planck Institute for Gravitational Physics (Albert Einstein Institute) is the largest research institute in the world, specializing in general relativity and beyond. Read more
Cosmological Modified Gravity simulations with massive sterile neutrinos
This project would involve setting up a large (>100 Mpc) cosmological simulation in the Modified Gravity (MOND) framework, but supplemented with 11 eV sterile neutrinos to make up the same total dark energy and matter density as in the Lambda Cold Dark Matter (ΛCDM) cosmology. Read more

Studentship: Wake modelling of offshore wind turbines in non-neutral atmosphere
The inevitability of climate change1 and net–zero policies across the globe are urgently promoting the need for renewable energies – wind energy is so far the most cost effective – hence, its production will have to increase drastically in the next decade2. Read more
The olfactory cocktail party: How animals and humans segregate mixed odours
University of Otago / University of Waikato. Three PhD Scholarships. The olfactory cocktail party. How animals and humans segregate mixed odours. Read more
Statistical Analysis of Experimental Sea Clutter Data and Development of Clutter Rejection and Target extraction algorithms
Radar systems sense the surrounding environment by transmitting a short electro-magnetic waveform and by listening, with a receiver, to echoes produced by reflecting objects. Read more
Funded PhD student position (f/m/d): Optical Control of Biological Matter across Scales (Physics, Biophysics, Biophotonics, Bioengineering)
About us. The Zieske group is an independent research group at Max Planck Institute for the Science of Light (MPL) and associated with the Max Planck Center for Physics and Medicine (MPZPM). Read more
Perovskite Radiation Detectors
Research Group:
Radiation and Medical Physics Group
New technologies for digital X-ray sensors are currently revolutionising many aspects of public health and security, from medical imaging systems to the latest “3D” X-ray scanning technology used in airports. Read more
Single quasiparticle pumping in the integer and fractional quantum Hall regime
This experimental PhD project will develop semiconductor nanodevices and cryogenic measurement technologies for controlled transfer of single quasiparticles (electrons or fractionally-charged quasiparticles). Read more
