Primary career market

Public Sector, Education & Impact (employer-sector evidence). Applications are invited for a PhD fellowship/scholarship at Graduate School of Natural Sciences, Aarhus University, Denmark, within the Physics and Astronomy programme. The position is available from February 2027 or later. Research area and project description:

The Department of Physics and Astronomy, Aarhus University, invites applications for a PhD position, starting February 1st, 2027, offering applicants an exciting opportunity to join a new research project on orbitronics and metastable states in two-dimensional quantum materials.

The project involves fabrication of devices and their integration with the existing angle-resolved photoemission (ARPES) infrastructure at the ASTRID2 light source to discover quantum geometric effects and their link to new forms of transport phenomena.

The aim of the project is to develop new types of 2D material devices that can realize orbital, spin and valley Hall effects that form the basis for prototypical memory devices1 …
