TUD Dresden University of Technology, as a University of Excellence, is one of the leading and most dynamic research institutions in the country. Founded in 1828, today it is a globally oriented, regionally anchored top university as it focuses on the grand challenges of the 21st century. It develops innovative solutions for the world's most pressing issues. In research and academic programs, the university unites the natural and engineering sciences with the humanities, social sciences and medicine. This wide range of disciplines is a special feature, facilitating interdisciplinarity and transfer of science to society. As a modern employer, it offers attractive working conditions to all employees in teaching, research, technology and administration. The goal is to promote and develop their individual abilities while empowering everyone to reach their full potential. TUD embodies a university culture that is characterized by cosmopolitanism, mutual appreciation, thriving innovation and active participation. For TUD diversity is an essential feature and a quality criterion of an excellent university. Accordingly, we welcome all applicants who would like to commit themselves, their achievements and productivity to the success of the whole institution.

At the Faculty of Physics, the Institute of Solid State and Materials Physics (IFMP) offers a position as

Research Associate / PhD Student (m/f/x) (subject to personal qualification employees are remunerated according to salary group E 13 TV-L)

starting at the earliest possible date. The position is limited to 3 years with 75% of the full-time weekly hours. The period of employment is governed by the Fixed Term Research Contracts Act (Wissenschaftszeitvertragsgesetz - WissZeitVG). The position offers the chance to obtain further academic qualification (usually PhD).

Tasks: uniaxial stress tuning of quantum spin liquid materials. Uniaxial stress is a new and very powerful way to tune the electronic properties of quantum materials. We have recently established new experimental facilities to explore the electron-lattice interactions in quantum materials by means of x-ray diffraction, x-ray spectroscopy and Raman-scattering. Your task will be to take the next step and use these facilities to explore quantum spin liquid materials as a function of uniaxial stress and temperature. The aim is to discover new collective states of matter and to clarify the interplay of lattice and electrons in quantum materials. Apart from your experiments at IFMP, you will also have the opportunity to work at large scale research centers such as free electron lasers and synchrotron radiation facilities.

You will join the Chair of Physics of Quantum Materials and work within the Collaborative Research Center 1143, both offering an outstanding research environment for your project. Active collaboration with associated research groups is expected, along with project-related supervision of student theses (Bachelor, Master).

Requirements: very good university degree (e.g. Master) in physics; interest in basic research; ability to work in a team and organizational talent; good command of English and German; ideally experience with advanced x-ray experiments.
