Mathematical Physics is a common division between the Natural Science and Engineering (LTH) faculties and is part of the Department of Physics.

Research is conducted primarily in the field of quantum mechanical many particle physics, which includes theoretical nuclear structure physics, nanometer physics, quantum information, atomic theory and material modeling, with numerous partnerships both internationally and within Lund.

Job assignment

The PhD student shall develop the theoretical description of fluctuations of thermodynamic quantities on the nanoscale, where the physics is determined by the laws of quantum mechanics. Particular focus will be on quantum mechanical, thermodynamic phenomena in open systems that are in a non-equilibrium state, a rapidly expanding field of research linking concepts and ideas from solid state physics, statistical mechanics and information theory. This project includes both analytical calculations and numerical simulations. In addition, there is a direct link to experimental activities within NanoLund. This research is part of a larger project funded by the KAW Foundation.

The main task for the doctoral student will be to conduct research education which includes work with research but also to master graduate courses.

Entry requirements

A formal requirement for doctoral studies in physics is:

- a university degree on advanced level within a related field, such as a Master's degree in physics or equivalent, or
- substantial advanced course work at the Master level, or comparable, including an independent research project.

Furthermore, the acceptance is based on the estimated ability to accomplish postgraduate studies.

Other requirements:

Good knowledge in spoken and written English is a requirement, in addition to very good knowledge in quantum theory.

Basis of assessment

Selection to postgraduate studies is based on the expected ability to perform well in the studies. The evaluation of the ability to perform well is based primarily on the results of studies at the basic and advanced levels, in particular:

- Knowledge and skills relevant to postgraduate studies within the research area, such as a broad and thorough preparation in physics. This can be documented by appended documents.
- Estimated ability to work independently and the ability to formulate and solve scientific questions. This ability can be established, for example, based on undergraduate research experiences, a Master's thesis or in a discussion of scientific problems during a possible interview.
- Skills in written and oral communication.
- Other experience relevant to postgraduate studies, such as professional experience.
Other assessment criteria:

We consider good cooperation ability, drive and independent work ability as positive personal attributes.

Documented experience in stochastic and/or quantum mechanical thermodynamics, statistical properties of quantum transport in nanosystems, as well as skills in numerical modeling of quantum systems, are considered significant merits.

Terms of employment

A PhD position is an employment with the main duty to be engaged in PhD studies according to the study plan. The duration of PhD studies is 4 years full time studies. In addition, those appointed to doctoral student position may be required to work with educational tasks, research and technical/administrative duties at a level of at most 20% of full time. The position is then extended correspondingly, however not longer than corresponding to 5 years full time employment. PhD positions are subject to special regulations. These can be found in the Swedish Higher Education Ordinance (SFS 1993:100, ch. 5, with updates). Only those who are or have been admitted to PhD-studies may be appointed to PhD position.

Application procedure

Apply online! Applications must contain a covering letter in which applicants describe themselves and their particular research interests. Applications must also include a CV, a copy of the applicant's Master's thesis (or a summary text if the thesis is not yet completed), contact details of at least two references, copies of grade certificates, and any other documents that the applicant wishes to refer to. Applicants are also required to answer the job specific questions as the first step of the application process!
