PostDoc position in theoretical physics of superconducting properties of 2DEG at transition metal oxide heterostructures

Postdoc position from June 1, 2024 available in Faculty of Physics and Applied Computer Science, AGH University of Krakow in Poland. The proposed project deals with theoretical description of an unconventional and topological superconductivity in 2DEG at transition metal oxide heterostructures, i.e.; LaAlO3/SrTiO3 (LAO/STO). In recent years, oxide interfaces have attracted a growing interest as a natural platform for studying the interplay between superconductivity, 2D-magnetism, spin-orbit interaction, and ferroelectricity. The occurrence of all these phenomena within a single material, as observed in transition metal oxide heterostructures, provides access to a variety of extraordinary superconducting phases, including p-wave or topological superconductivity as well as the coexistence of magnetism and superconducting state. All of them will be studied in the framework of the project. 

The research will be carried out in the theory group of WFiIS AGH. Both existing numerical software and self-prepared codes are going to be used. Direct access to the high-performance computing cluster and personal desktops and laptops will be provided. 

Requirement: master's degree obtained after December 31, 2011

The postdoc researcher will be hired on a temporary contract with a salary of about 1500 euro per month. The planned period of the project is 18 months (about 1 and a half years).
