Post Doctoral Research Assistant in Experimental Condensed Matter Physics: Field Induced Quantum Ordering
The School of Physics and Centre for Science at Extreme Conditions (CSEC) at the University of Edinburgh and the Physics School at St Andrews University.
Fixed Term: 3 years
Salary - £26,666 - £31,840 per annum
The closing date for applications is 23 July 2007
You will work on crystal growth of high-purity intermetallic compounds to explore quantum critical behaviour, including superconductivity and magnetic properties. There will be opportunity to study the crystals grown with neutron and X-Ray scattering at central facilities in the UK and overseas, as well as at mK temperatures, under pressure and at high magnetic field. The work forms part of a joint project between The School of Physics and Centre for Science at Extreme Conditions (CSEC) at the University of Edinburgh and the Physics School at St Andrews University.
Experience in some of the following techniques is desirable: high-purity crystal growth, ultra-high vacuum, electron-microprobe analysis, X-Ray and neutron scattering, low temperature experimental condensed matter physics, working with diamond-anvil pressure cells. Further details
