Research Assistant in Correlated Electron Systems (Fixed Term)
Fixed-term: The funds for this post are available for 3 years in the first instance.
Applications are sought for a Research Assistant in Correlated Electron Systems position in the Department of Physics, University of Cambridge.
The project in the group of Prof. Suchitra Sebastian (www.quantum-materials.phy.cam.ac.uk) will involve the growth, characterisation and study of correlated electron materials of interest including unconventional superconductors and unconventional insulators under low temperatures and high magnetic fields.
Measurements under the most extreme conditions will involve travel to international facilities. Analysis and interpretation of data obtained from measurements, often within collaborations, will be performed for publication in scientific research journals.
Applicants will have an Undergraduate degree in Physical Sciences. Candidates should have demonstrable understanding of correlated electron physics in various materials.
Candidates will need to meet all prerequisites for admission to the PhD programme in the Department of Physics. (https://www.phy.cam.ac.uk/study/postgraduate/programmes/phd-in-physics/
