AI Thread Summary
Job opportunities in the field of spintronics are limited due to its niche status at the forefront of electronics. The discussion highlights that few individuals are qualified for these roles, making it challenging to find job postings. However, several prominent research groups and institutions are actively engaged in spintronics research. Notable names include the Santa Barbara group led by Dave Awschalom, Bob Buhrman's group at Cornell, and Stuart Parkin's division at IBM Almaden. Additionally, significant interest from the U.S. government is noted, with key figures like Sam Bader from Argonne National Laboratory and Stewart Wolf from NRL/DARPA contributing to the field. Most researchers in spintronics come from a physics background, with Paul Crowell's group at the University of Minnesota also mentioned as a relevant contact.

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.

TL;DR Summary: I want to do a PhD in applied math but I hate group theory, is this a big problem? Hello, I am a second-year math and physics double major with a minor in data science. I just finished group theory (today actually), and it was my least favorite class in all of university so far. It doesn't interest me, and I am also very bad at it compared to other math courses I have done. The other courses I have done are calculus I-III, ODEs, Linear Algebra, and Prob/Stats. Is it a...
I’ve been looking through the curricula of several European theoretical/mathematical physics MSc programs (ETH, Oxford, Cambridge, LMU, ENS Paris, etc), and I’m struck by how little emphasis they place on advanced fundamental courses. Nearly everything seems to be research-adjacent: string theory, quantum field theory, quantum optics, cosmology, soft matter physics, black hole radiation, etc. What I don’t see are the kinds of “second-pass fundamentals” I was hoping for, things like...
