Research assistant (f/m/d) (DM-Phy-911)
Who We Are
The PhD position is located in the Emmy-Noether group "Microscale and Nanoscale Physics of Topological Metals" led by Maxim Breitkreiz. The group is part of the Dahlem Center for Complex Quantum Systems, which research focus is quantum-theoretical condensed matter physics in its fullest range.
Furthermore, the Emmy-Noether group is involved in the transregional Collaborative Research Center CRC 183 "Entangled States of Matter" and the Center for Chiral Electronics. This embedding of the PhD position offers an excellent research environment with particularly diverse opportunities for a creative research practice with international collaborations, research residencies, soft-skill workshops, participation and active organization of conferences and summer schools.
