Research Associate

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

We have an opportunity for a Research Associate to make a leading contribution to an EPSRC-funded project “Engineering exotic electronic states in an oxide kagome quantum spin liquid” working with David Boldrin in the Materials and Condensed Matter Physics group within the School of Physics and Astronomy.

The role will involve a combination of solid-state synthesis of transition metal oxide-based quantum frustrated magnets, physical property measurements such as magnetometry and advanced characterisation using X-ray and neutron diffraction, electron microscopy and spectroscopy, and inelastic neutron scattering. Previous experience with some or all of these will be an advantage. There will also be opportunities to work with collaborators, such as project partners at the University of St. Andrews, Université Paris-Saclay and Institut Laue-Langevin.

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)
