Doctoral Student In Condensed Matter Theory

KTH Royal Institute of Technology, School of Engineering Sciences

Project description: The project will focus on theoretical condensed matter physics, with particular emphasis on quantum many-body physics. The research will mainly employ analytical approaches, and particularly field-theoretical methods, to study interacting quantum systems both in and out of equilibrium. Numerical approaches will be used to complement the analytical work. The group's current research interests include quantum chaos and thermalization, disordered systems, nonequilibrium quantum dynamics, and superconductivity.

Supervision: Yunxiang Liao is proposed to supervise the doctoral student. Decisions are made on admission.

Admission requirements: To be admitted to postgraduate education, the applicant must have basic eligibility in accordance with either of the following: passed a second cycle degree (for example a master's degree), or completed course requirements of at least 240 higher education credits, of which at least 60 second-cycle higher education credits, or acquired, in some other way within or outside the country, substantially equivalent knowledge. In addition to the above, there is also a mandatory requirement for English equivalent to English B/6.

Selection: In order to succeed as a doctoral student at KTH you need to be goal oriented and persevering in your work.

Target degree: Doctoral degree

Information regarding admission and employment: Only those admitted to postgraduate education may be employed as a doctoral student. The total length of employment may not be longer than what corresponds to full-time doctoral education in four years' time. An employed doctoral student can, to a limited extent (maximum 20%), perform certain tasks within their role, e.g. training and administration. A new position as a doctoral student is for a maximum of one year, and then the employment may be renewed for a maximum of two years at a time. In the case of studies that are to be completed with a licentiate degree, the total period of employment may not be longer than what corresponds to full-time doctoral education for two years. As a doctoral student, you are entitled to a workplace with many employee benefits and monthly salary according to KTH's Doctoral student salary agreement.
