<span style="font-size:12.0pt">The Institute for Quantum Phenomena in Novel Materials at the Helmholtz Zentrum Berlin Germany, is looking for a PhD Student to investigate topological and quantum magnets. The project will focus on frustrated and low dimensional
magnetism where current research has revealed exotic phases such as classical and quantum spin ice, spin liquids, new forms of topological order and fractional excitations. These phenomena will be investigated using primarily the experimental techniques of
neutron scattering along with X-ray scattering, materials synthesis and characterization. Pressure and magnetic field will be used to tune the ground states and provide additional insight, while deeper understanding will also be gained by performing computer
simulations and by collaboration with theorists. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
