Open Positions

 

Graduate Student Positions: We are looking for at least two highly motivated individuals to join our efforts to design, implement and utilize a world-class fully rotational magnetothermal vector field experiment. Students will develop expertise in performing ultra-low temperature thermal transport and thermodynamic measurements of exotic superconductors, metals and magnetic compounds, and will learn the "non-textbook" side of condensed matter physics. They will also utilize the CNAM central facilities to grow, characterize and study theses systems both in single-crystal and thin-film form. Applicants should send a summary of their interests in condensed matter physics and any relevant laboratory experience to me at the email address below.
