Job offer Research Fellow, Physics

The project takes place in the context of an exciting wider programme of materials investigation currently underway within the Superconductivity and Magnetism Group. The group studies highly correlated electron systems including magnetic and exotic superconductors, intermetallic heavy fermions, topological materials, frustrated magnets and 2D materials grown as single crystals using a range of techniques. We make extensive use of neutron, synchrotron and muon sources worldwide, high magnetic field facilities, as well as in-house magnetometry, transport and related measurements. The candidate will work with all the members of the group and benefit from association with other ongoing projects. The group has an international reputation for its continued excellence in the long running EPSRC funded programme on "Single Crystal Growth at Warwick".
