We are inviting applications for one PhD position in condensed matter theory and statistical
physics to join the research group of Johannes Hofmann at the University of Gothenburg
in Sweden. The Department of Physics at the University of Gothenburg is located in the
centre of Gothenburg on the west coast of Sweden and has approximately 120 employees.
Together with Chalmers University located on the same campus, we form the Gothenburg
Physics Centre, which is one of the largest places for physics research in the Nordic
countries.
The PhD project aims to develop advanced statistical methods based on kinetic theory,
utilising both numerical and analytical approaches, to study charge and heat transport in
electron and electron-phonon gases. The project will focus on hydrodynamic transport–a
recently observed mode of transport driven by dominant interactions–in both solid-state
systems and atomic quantum gases. The admitted doctoral student will be part of a small,
active theory group with close supervision and international collaborations.
We are looking for highly motivated individuals with experience and interest in analytical
and numerical calculations in condensed-matter physics, statistical physics, or atomic
physics. Previous research experience in many-body physics or quantum theory would be
helpful but is not required.
A PhD position in Sweden is a four-year full-time programme that leads to a doctoral
degree. The position is fully funded for the entire duration, with a current monthly starting
salary of 34800 SEK. Doctoral students must primarily devote themselves to research but
may to a limited extent engage in teaching and outreach activities. Such work may, before
the doctoral degree is completed, not cover more than 20% of full-time work, which
typically extends the total duration of the position to five years.
