The PhD student will perform theoretical investigations and computational modeling of laser-induced non-equilibrium magnetization processes in magnetic materials on ultrashort time scales. The research work includes development of theoretical models and computer programs for ultrafast optical control of magnetization in strong laser fields. Density-functional theory (DFT) programs will be used for accurate description of magnetic materials. The research will be performed in a EU project in collaboration with both experimental and theoretical researchers from various countries.
The prospective applicant is expected to be strongly motivated and have a Masters degree in theoretical or computational physics or materials science. Excellent exam marks are considered an asset, as well as previous experience with electronic structure theory and/or experience with code development.
The application should include a description of research interests and relevant experiences, CV, certificates of exams, degrees and grades, a copy of the Master thesis or outline of the Master’s thesis, published articles or relevant materials, if available. Applicants are asked to provide names of reference persons or to include recommendation letters.
The PhD position is limited to four years in the case of full-time studies, or five years if teaching duties (maximum 20%) are included.

Uppsala University is aiming for a more even gender distribution and women are especially encouraged to apply.
