Spin Current Induced Ultrafast Switching
SPINSWITCH
Research Training Network (MRTN-CT-2006-035327)


The MRTN SPINSWITCH “Spin current induced ultrafast switching” is funded by the
European Commission under the FP6 Programme for four years from 1st October
2006.

Spin transport phenomena are an exciting and rapidly growing area of physics
that will have significant impact on the development of the next genrations of
devices such as MRAMs, magnetic sensors, magnetic logic and high frequency
components. The scientific objective of SPINWITCH MRTN is to investigate and use
spin transfer torque (STT) effects to extend and enhance the fundamental
understanding of this new scientific domain by combining the expertise of 15
leading European laboratories in the field with emphasis on high frequency and
ultrafast switching aspects.

To carry out this mission SPINSWITCH will recruit:
10 Early Stage Researcher (ESR) positions (PhD), 36 months;
Hiring deadline 01/10/2007
and 7-9 Experienced Researcher (ER) positions (Post Doc) on 12/18 months
Contracts from 01/10/2007 onwards

Details of the consortium and programme can be found on the SPINSWITCH website:
http://www.spinswitch.de.
The conditions of appointment will be governed by the rules of the Human
Capital and Mobility programme (http://cordis.europa.eu/fp6/mobility.htm) and
all hired researchers will be paid salaries, cost of living and other
allowances. Applicants should check the eligibility criteria given in the EC
programme.

Researchers hired by the network will be expected to follow the full range of
training offered including secondments to other network laboratories to acquire
new skills, training in complementary skills and career development.

The network will strive to ensure that > 40% of the Researchers are women
scientists and >30% of the Researchers will be from the New Member States.
Application Contact is the coordinator of the SPINSWITCH MRTN.
