Open positions for PhD, Master and Bachelor theses and Postdoctoral positions at the Institute of Physics, Solid State Physics:
Our group works on the area of spintronics and nano-electronics. We work as well on other aspects of solid state theory, with a view towards multi-disciplinary approaches. Our group is very dynamic and we try to create an environment with diverse characters and expertise in order to attain a much more powerful approach to the physical challenges that we try to solve.
For organizing and hosting the "Joint European Magnetism Symposia" Jairo Sinova got rewarded as a "Congress Expert". JEMS is the biggest congress on the topic of magnetism in Europe and one of the four biggest congresses worldwide.
