Job Description

Position for Postdoctoral Researcher or PhD Student in Solid State Physics Microwave Spectroscopy of Quantum Materials

A position for a Postdoctoral Researcher or a PhD Student is available in the Quantum Materials group led by Silke Bühler-Paschen at the Technische Universität Wien (TU Wien) in Vienna, Austria on the following subject:


Microwave spectroscopy of strange metals and correlated topological semimetals


Quantum materials are increasingly pursued for next-generation quantum devices. In this PhD project, microwave-based measurement techniques will be used to investigate the electrodynamic response of strongly correlated electron systems. At focus will be several intriguing phenomena such as strange metallicity and correlation-driven topology in heavy fermion compounds that are expected to have key responses in the microwave regime at millikelvin temperatures.


The successful candidate will use and optimize various microwave techni...
