Offer Description Job Summary: The postdoctoral researcher will be involved in the theoretical investigation of switching mechanisms in broken time-reversal symmetry phases. The research will explore the evolution of the magnetocrystalline anisotropy of altermagnetic manganese telluride under external stimuli such as pressure and strain. Job Description: The research will be carried out in Division ON-6 under the supervision of Prof. Carmine Autieri. The team collaborates with research groups at the Institute of Physics of the Polish Academy of Sciences and with research institutions in Poland and abroad. The project will focus on theoretical studies of the magnetic properties of α-manganese telluride and β-manganese telluride, with particular emphasis on magnetocrystalline anisotropy and how it can be controlled through pressure and strain. The postdoctoral researcher will analyse the effects of these factors on the properties of the material and on switching mechanisms between magnetic states. The work will also include exploring interfaces between manganese telluride and superconducting spintronic materials, with a view to potential applications in quantum technologies.
Requirements: A PhD in physics. Experience in condensed matter theory and quantum information theory, or related fields, demonstrated by publications. Experience in analytical and numerical modelling. Fluent spoken and written English. Ability to work in a team.
What we offer: A supportive, friendly, and stable working environment with opportunities for career development, both within Poland and internationally. Opportunities to exchange expertise in numerical modelling.
Main research field: Physics Sub Research Field: Condensed matter physics Career Stage: Experienced researcher or 4-10 yrs (Post-Doc) Research Profile (details): Established Researcher (R3) Type of Contract: Temporary, 24 months with possibility of extension Status: Part-time employment (50% of full-time hours). Salary: Basic salary of PLN 3 557 per month gross before taxes and applicable social security contributions (approximately 24%), plus length of service allowance.
