About the Project
Osnabrück University’s department of Physics invites applications for a
PhD position (f/m)
(salary scale E 13 TV-L, 50 %)
in the group of Statistical Physics/Condensed Matter Physics as a temporary position for three years starting as soon as possible.
Description of responsibilities:
• Work on PhD project on many-body transport processes in lattice models and systems with Brownian dynamics. The research includes both fundamental aspects and application to experiments.
• Involvement in research with the aim of gaining a PhD and teaching activities
Required qualifications:
• Applicants must have a qualifying university degree (master or diploma) in physics or in a related discipline at the upper second class level, the normal requirement being at least 65% overall degree mark
• An interest in theoretical and computational studies
Desirable qualifications:
• Experience in the simulation of models in statistical physics and condensed matter physics
• Good English skills
We offer:
• An excellent working environment
• A constant scientific advice
• State-of-the-art computer resources with high capacity
Osnabrück University has been certified as a family-friendly university committed to helping working/studying parents and carers balance their family and work life.
