Postdoctoral researcher in Experimental Condensed Matter Physics at the Institute of Physics, Zagreb

IMAQSS at the Institute of Physics, Zagreb, Croatia, invites applications for a postdoctoral position in Experimental Condensed Matter Physics to work on a research project Influence of Magnetic Anisotropy on Quantum Spin Systems. The project is focused on experimental investigation of magnetic anisotropy in new low-dimensional and/or frustrated spin systems and systems with strong magnetoelectric coupling. The position is for a 12-month period.

A PhD in Physics or equivalent degree is required. The ideal candidate should have hands-on experience in experimental low–temperature physics of condensed matter. However, we also encourage applications from candidates with backgrounds in ESR spectroscopy, x-ray scattering, optical spectroscopy and materials sciences. For more details on the research topics please visit the project page  http://imaqss.ifs.hr/

Candidates are requred to submit: their Curriculum Vitae, list of publications, a cover letter with a brief description of research interests, certificate of PhD or equivalent degree and contact information for three prospective referees.

Applications should be submitted by e-mail in pdf electronic format to natjecaj@ifs.hr

Expected starting date: June 1^th 2017.

The IMAQSS project is granted by the Croatian Science Foundation.

For additional questions, please contact Dr. Mirta Herak  (mirta@ifs.hr)

Application deadline is February 28^th 2017.

Late applications or those without proofs of the requirements will not be considered.

The applicants will be notified on the results within 15 days after decision is made.
