PhD fellow in Theoretical Condensed Matter Physics

jobbeskrivelse:
The Center for Quantum Devices at the Niels Bohr Institute, Faculty of Science at University ofCopenhagen is offering a PhD scholarship in theoretical condensed matter physics in the fall of 2019.

Description of the scientific environment
The Center for Quantum Devices is a center of excellence at the Niels Bohr Institute. The center focuses on theoretical and experimental research on how to create, control, measure, and protect quantum coherence and entanglement in solid-state electronic. The center has strong connections to other research groups at the Niels Bohr Institute and also with Microsoft Quantum – Copenhagen laboratory. The successful candidate will become part of the Condensed Matter Theory Group and will have the opportunity to interact and collaborate with other members of the group which currently has six professors.

Project abstractJV_description
The project will be concerned with the field of topological superconductivity. One central theme could be on the theory and design of devices that can shed light on the nonlocal and nonabelian effects of Majorana bound states. Part of the research will done in close collaboration with experimental researchers at the center.

Principal supervisor is Professor Karsten Flensberg, flensberg (at) nbi.dk.

Job abstractJV_description
The position available for candidates on the regular Danish PhD program of 3 years and for students on the Integrated MSc and PhD Scheme. Your key tasks as a PhD student at SCIENCE are:

• To manage and carry through your research project
• Attend PhD courses
• Write scientific articles and your PhD thesis
• Teach and disseminate your research
• To stay at an external research institution for a few months, preferably abroad
• Work for the department

Formal requirements
Applicants should hold an MSc degree in physics or related area with good results and good English skills. As criteria for the assessment of your qualifications emphasis will also be laid on previous publications (if any) and relevant work experience.

Terms of employment
The position is covered by the Memorandum on Job Structure for Academic Staff.

Terms of appointment and payment accord to the agreement between the Ministry of Finance and The Danish Confederation of Professional Associations on Academics in the State.

The starting salary is currently at a minimum DKK 325.625 (approx. €43,400) including annual supplement (+ pension up to DKK 44,980) for a 5+3 PhD student. For PhD students on the integrated MSc and PhD scheme, please read more below. Negotiation for salary supplement is possible.

Integrated MSc and PhD Scheme
The position is also available for candidates who are (or are eligible to be) enrolled at one of the faculty’s master programmes in physics. The duration of the integrated programme depends on the amount of credits that you have passed on your MSc programme. For further information about the study programme please see: www.science.ku.dk/phd, “Study Structures”.

Scholarship and terms of employment for integrated MSc and PhD
PhD grant portions (Ph.D.‐SU klip)
In the period up to the completion of the MSc programme (up to three years), the student is enabstractJV_titled to so-called PhD grant portions. The grant portions are financed by the grant donor but not by the Danish State Educational Grant and Loan Scheme Agency (as is the case for the ordinary study grant portions on the BSc and MSc programmes). They are called PhD grant portions because this kind of remuneration is regulated and described in the Executive Order on the State Educational Grant and Loan Scheme in Denmark (SU‐bekendtgørelsen), and because the value of a PhD grant portion corresponds to the value of an ordinary Danish study grant portion. Students are awarded 48 PhD grant portions during the period of their MSc and PhD studies.
48 PhD grant portions at DKK 6,090 each, corresponding to DKK 292,320 (approx. €38,975).

'Duty work'
As a supplement to the PhD grant portions, the student may, in accordance with the collective agreement of the Danish Confederation of Professional Associations (AC), be offered 'duty work'. In the period up to the completion of the MSc programme, students performing 'duty work' are paid by the hour. UCPH has decided to offer students on integrated MSc and PhD schemes 150 hours of 'duty work' per year during Part A of the programme (until two years of the combined programme of study remain). 'Duty work' during Part A if it has a duration of three years: 450 hours at a rate of DKK 216.14 (+ 12.5% holiday pay), corresponding to DKK 109,418 (approx. €14,580)
For further information about Part A please see: http://www.science.ku.dk/english/research/phd/studystructure/integratedphd/.

Salary in accordance with the collective agreement with the Danish Confederation of Professional
Associations (AC)
In the period after the completion of the MSc programme, the student is employed as a PhD scholar and is remunerated in accordance with the collective agreement with the Danish Confederation of Professional Associations (AC). The scheme is arranged in such a way that students graduate from the MSc programme at a time when there are two years left of the integrated programme. For this reason, the salary must be paid for a period of two years in accordance with the collective agreement with the Danish Confederation of Professional Associations (AC). The amounts specified include a supplement locally agreed upon as well as pension contributions: Salary as a PhD scholar: 24 months at a rate of DKK 30,883 (including pension contributions and supplement), corresponding to DKK 741,210 (approx. €98,800).

Application Procedure
The application, in English, must be submitted electronically by clicking APPLY NOW below.

Please include:
