Germany: Early Stage Researcher and Experienced Researcher Positions, Technische Universität Kaiserslautern
10 Early Stage Researcher and 7-9 Experienced Researcher positions
The MRTN SPINSWITCH “Spin current induced ultrafast switching†is funded by the European Commission under the FP6 Programme for four years from 1st October 2006.
Spin transport phenomena are an exciting and rapidly growing area of physics that will have significant impact on the development of the next genrations of devices such as MRAMs, magnetic sensors, magnetic logic and high frequency components. The scientific objective of SPINWITCH MRTN is to investigate and use spin transfer torque (STT) effects to extend and enhance the fundamental understanding of this new scientific domain by combining the expertise of 15 leading European laboratories in the field with emphasis on high frequency and ultrafast switching aspects.
To carry out this mission SPINSWITCH will recruit:
- 10 Early Stage Researcher (ESR) positions (PhD), 36 months;
Hiring deadline 01/10/2007 -
and 7-9 Experienced Researcher (ER) positions (Post Doc)
on 12/18 months Contracts from 01/10/2007 onwards
Details of the consortium and programme can be found on the SPINSWITCH website: http://www.spinswitch.de.
The conditions of appointment will be governed by the rules of the Human Capital and Mobility programme (http://cordis.europa.eu/fp6/mobility.htm) and all hired researchers will be paid salaries, cost of living and other allowances. Applicants should check the eligibility criteria given in the EC programme.
Researchers hired by the network will be expected to follow the full range of training offered including secondments to other network laboratories to acquire new skills, training in complementary skills and career development.
The network will strive to ensure that > 40% of the Researchers are women scientists and >30% of the Researchers will be from the New Member States. Application Contact is the coordinator of the SPINSWITCH MRTN.
Applications consisting of an application form (see website), 2 pages CV and names of two references should sent by electronic mail to the Coordinator:
