Doctoral Student (m/w/d) for the Theoretical Investigation of Novel Magnetic Quantum Phases - Berlin

• QM 2025/1 The Department for ATQM of Prof. Reuther studies strongly correlated electron systems, with a special focus on quantum magnetism. We are particularly interested in a theoretical understanding of frustrated spin systems, possibly hosting novel types of quantum states such as spin liquids. In collaboration with our experimental colleagues at Helmholtz-Zentrum Berlin, we aim to transfer our knowledge to real materials, to develop a microscopic understanding of magnetism in nature.

• You investigate novel magnetic quantum phases in complex three-dimensional lattice structures, transfer the obtained insights to magnetic materials, and collaborate with experimental groups within and outside the Helmholtz-Zentrum Berlin.
• You investigate emergent phenomena of quantum magnetism, such as fractional quasiparticles and effective gauge theories.
• You apply machine learning methods for modelling magnetic quantum materials.
• You collaborate closely with the Physics Department at Freie Universität Berlin and its research groups.

• Master's degree in theoretical solid state physics
• Profound knowledge in the field of quantum magnetism
• Experience with analytical or numerical methods in solid state physics
• Programming experience Your Benefits at HZB
• Opportunity to contribute to the development of innovative materials and technological solutions for a climate-neutral future in cooperation with leading international researchers
• Commitment to diversity and sustainability through an inclusive working environment,promotion of diversity sensitivity andimplementation of sustainable and climate-neutral methods
• Career-enhancing networking opportunities and individual mentoring and support from theHZB Graduate Centre andHZB Postdoc Office
• Attractive remuneration through payment according to TVöD Bund
• 30 days holiday/year
• Extensive additional benefits, such as company pension plan (VBL), subsidy for public transport (Deutschlandticket Job) and company sports programs
• Good work-life balance through counselling services on family and career and flexible working time models: Flextime, part-time, hybrid working
• And a team that is looking forward to meeting you!

The salary is based on the Collective Agreement for the German Public Service (TVöD-Bund).

• Motivation letter describing your background and research interests
• Curriculum vitae (CV) listing your education, publications, research experience, and contact details of at least two references
