Research Associate

This post is full time, and funded for up to 30 months.

The School of Physics & Astronomy is looking for a Research Associate to make a leading contribution to an EPSRC-funded project ‘Engineering exotic electronic states in oxide kagome quantum spin liquids’ working with David Boldrin in the Materials and Condensed Matter Physics group. The project will involve collaboration with partners at the University of St. Andrews, Université Paris-Saclay and Institut Laue-Langevin, and provides opportunities for research visits. The role will involve a combination of solid-state synthesis of transition metal oxides, physical property measurements such as magnetometry and characterisation using X-ray, neutron and electron probes. The successful candidate will also be expected to lead proposals to neutron and synchrotron scattering facilities, contribute to the formulation and submission of research publications, presentations and proposals, work with and mentor PhD students as well as help manage and direct this complex and challenging project as opportunities allow.

For informal enquiries or further information about the project, please contact Dr David Boldrin, (David.Boldrin@glasgow.ac.uk)
