PhD Candidate in Non-Hermitian Transport
Join the Beyond_Anderson project to explore non-Hermitian transport phenomena in condensed matter physics.
Best for:Best for physics graduates with a strong background in condensed matter and an interest in non-Hermitian systems.
Overview
The Institute of Electronic Structure and Laser (IESL) at the Foundation for Research and Technology Hellas (FORTH) is seeking a PhD candidate to join the Beyond_Anderson research project. This position focuses on investigating non-Hermitian transport properties within the context of Anderson-forbidden systems. The successful candidate will contribute to high-level theoretical or experimental research funded by the European Research Council. Applicants are expected to engage deeply with condensed matter physics and demonstrate a strong commitment to academic excellence.
What you'll do
- Conduct original research on non-Hermitian transport phenomena within the Beyond_Anderson project framework.
- Collaborate with senior researchers and project partners to achieve ERC-funded research objectives.
- Prepare and publish research findings in high-impact peer-reviewed scientific journals.
- Present research results at international conferences and workshops.
- Participate in the academic life and seminars of the IESL-FORTH institute.
