In summary, Spintronics is a small and cutting-edge field in electronics, with few qualified individuals and limited job opportunities. Some notable researchers and institutions in this field include the Santa Barbara group, Cornell, IBM Almaden, and the US Government. Most of these researchers are physicists.

Job in Spintronic!

Hi All,

Could anyone tell me where can I get a job in the field of Spintronic?
Is there any web posting any job about that?

Thanks!

That's a very small field right now, on the cutting edge of electronics. Few people in world are really qualified for such jobs; if were so qualified, you'd already know where to be looking. Sorry to burst your bubble.

Perhaps I could join in the request by re-defining it:
could somebody give names and/or places actively researching spintronics?

A few that come to mind : the Santa Barbara group under Dave Awschalom, Bob Buhrman's group in Cornell, Stuart Parkin's division at IBM Almaden. Also, the US Govt is very interested in Spintronics - Sam Bader (MSD, Argonne) and Stewart Wolf (NRL/DARPA) are two of the big names in the field.

Almost all of the above people are physicists.
