Research Assistant/Research Associate in Quantum Materials Research (Fixed Term)

University of Cambridge

Location: West Cambridge

Mounted-term: The funds for this put up can be found till thirtieth September 2025 within the first occasion.

A place exists for Analysis Assistant/Affiliate in Quantum Supplies analysis.

Place Description: The Cavendish Laboratory’s Quantum Matter group is trying to appoint a postdoctoral researcher to research digital and magnetic states in unconventional superconductors. The profitable applicant will examine the digital construction of superconducting quantum supplies close to quantum part transitions by inspecting quantum oscillations in excessive magnetic fields and at low temperatures. Materials courses to be investigated embrace narrow-band d- and f-electron intermetallics, pnictides, and transition metallic oxides such because the ruthenates and cuprates. The group operates a variety of crystal development and characterisation gear, together with a mirror furnace, two rf-induction furnaces and a variety of field and tube furnaces, a PPMS, two SQUID magnetometers and a VSM, and now we have entry to related x-ray services throughout the College. The group has developed key excessive stress methods related to this challenge, equivalent to patterned excessive stress anvils, microcoils throughout the anvil cell pattern house, and rf tank circuitry for oblique resistivity measurements in anvil cells. The low temperature, excessive area work shall be carried out primarily on the Cavendish lab, utilizing our 20.4 Tesla/1mK cryomagnetic facility, with alternatives for additional measurements at worldwide excessive area services (e.g. US, France, Holland). Complementary excessive stress lattice construction willpower by x-ray diffraction will happen on the Diamond Mild Supply Synchrotron within the UK. Inside this programme of analysis, you’ll be significantly accountable for low temperature, excessive magnetic area, excessive stress measurement and method improvement.

Eligibility: You must have a PhD (or near acquiring) in Physics or in a associated self-discipline, with a powerful monitor report of analysis within the space of experimental correlated electron physics. You must have expertise with at the least one of many experimental methods related to the challenge (excessive magnetic area measurements, measurements at cryogenic temperatures, excessive stress measurements). Different expertise which shall be valued embrace: crystal development, computing, information of the physics of strongly correlated electron techniques. A demonstrated skill to work independently is important.

The put up holder shall be situated on the Division of Physics Cavendish Laboratory JJ Thomson Avenue Cambridge CB3 0HE, UK.

Analysis Affiliate: £36,024 – £44,263 (Grade 7). Appointment at Analysis Affiliate degree depends on having a PhD. Those that have submitted however not but acquired their PhD will initially be appointed as a Analysis Assistant (Grade 5, Level 38 – £32,982) transferring to Analysis Affiliate (Grade 7) upon affirmation of your PhD award.
