The group conducts a broad spectrum of research using analytical and numerical methods, ranging from effective field theory, topological systems, topological solitons, and statistical mechanical descriptions of phase transitions to modern microscopic quantum many-body techniques. One of our research areas is the emerging field of new types of order: In recent years, experimental discoveries have been made that have revised half-century-old paradigms: the discovery of electron quartet condensates and topological defects that carry an arbitrary fraction of magnetic flux quantum. The discovery has opened up many fundamental questions about the nature of this new state of matter and its possible applications. Other areas of study include new symmetry-breaking quantum states and topological ordered states, unconventional phase transitions, and the use of newly developed techniques such as diagrammatic Monte Carlo to understand other unsolved problems. Collaboration with international theoretical and experimental research groups involved in the project is encouraged.\nSupervision: Professor Egor Babaev is proposed to supervise the PhD student. The decision will be made at admission.\nEligibility for Admission\nTo be admitted to doctoral studies (Chapter 7, Section 39 of the Higher Education Ordinance), the applicant must have basic eligibility:\ncompleted a degree at advanced level, or\ncompleted course requirements of at least 240 higher education credits, of which at least 60 higher education credits are at advanced level, or\nacquired substantially equivalent knowledge in some other way within or outside the country.\n\nIn addition to the above, there is also a mandatory requirement of English equivalent to English B\/6.\nSelection\nTo succeed in your doctoral studies at KTH, you need to be goal-oriented and persistent in your work. When selecting applicants, the ability to:\nindependently advance your work,\ncollaborate with others,\nhave a professional approach, and\nanalyze and work with complex issues\n\nwill be assessed. After eligibility requirements are met, great weight will be placed on personal qualities.\nTarget Degree: Doctor of Philosophy\nInformation About Admission and Employment\nOnly those admitted to doctoral studies may be employed as a PhD student. The total employment period may not exceed what corresponds to full-time doctoral education for four years. An employed PhD student may, to a limited extent (maximum 20%), perform certain work tasks within, for example, education and administration. A new employment as a PhD student applies for a maximum of one year; the employment may thereafter be renewed for a maximum of two years at a time.\nAs a PhD student, you will receive KTH's employment benefits and have a monthly salary according to KTH's agreement for PhD student salaries.

As an applicant, you have primary responsibility for ensuring that your application is complete when submitted.\nApplication Must Contain the Following\nCopies of diplomas and transcripts from previous university studies and certificates of fulfilled language requirements (see above). Translations to English or Swedish if the original document is not issued in one of these languages. Copies of originals must be certified.\nCV with relevant professional experience and knowledge.\nCover letter with a brief account of why you want to pursue doctoral studies, your academic interests, and how they relate to your previous studies and future goals. (Max 2 pages)\nRepresentative publications or technical reports. For longer documents, please attach a summary (abstract) and a web link to the full text.\n\nThe application must be received by KTH no later than the final application deadline at midnight, CET\/CEST (Central European Time\/Central European Summer Time).\nOther\nFor information on the processing of personal data in connection with recruitment.\nIt may occur that employment at KTH is placed in a security class. If this is the case for this particular position, a security vetting of the applicant will be conducted in accordance with the Security Protection Act (2018:585) after consent. In these cases, a prerequisite for employment is that the applicant is approved after security vetting.\nWe decline direct contact from staffing and recruitment companies as well as job advertisement vendors.\nBecome Part of KTH\nKTH shapes the future through education, research, and innovation. As a leading international technical university, we play an active role in driving and participating in the transition to a sustainable society. Here you are offered the opportunity to grow and develop in a creative and dynamic workplace with good working conditions and benefits.
