Oxford, United Kingdom University of Oxford Full time

This is an exciting opportunity for a Postdoctoral Research Assistant to support in the development of computational models for magnetic nanosystems.

In this fixed-term role running until 31 December 2024, the post holder will work as a member of a research group with responsibility for carrying out research for the European MMGNRs ERC project, specifically in the modelling of the materials using theoretical methods that allow calculating the magnetic and electronic properties.

As part of this role you will have the opportunity to provide guidance to junior members of the research group, including research assistants, PhD students, and/or project volunteers.

With a background in physics and computational modelling of magnetic and carbon nanosystems, you will be self-motivated with the ability to plan and deliver a research project.  You will hold a doctorate (or be close to completion) in a relevant subject area, namely Physics, Chemistry or Materials Science, and experience in numerical modelling of magnetic systems using computational tools.

All applications must be made online using the Oxford University E-Recruitment system, no later than 12 noon on 24 May 2024. You will be required to upload a CV and a Supporting Statement as part of your application.  Please do not attach any manuscripts, papers, transcripts, mark sheets or certificates as these will not be considered as part of your application.

Interviews are scheduled to take place at the Department of Materials and you must be available to attend either by Teams, Zoom or in person.
