Join the team
If you are interested in joining the team, send me an email with a cv and a brief research statement. I will contact you if I can identify opportunities that fit your profile. Two immediate possibilities are:
- FCT contracts: A competitive call for 6-year contracts for researcher at different levels is held annually by FCT.
- CSRC/CeFEMA postdoctoral appointments: A few fellowships for postdoctoral fellows are regularly available for shared appointments between CeFEMA, Lisbon and CSRC, Beijing.
PhD fellowships are available through CeFEMA, and FCT competitive calls.
Bright, and highly motivated students that wish to pursue a PhD degree, with a strong background in Condensed Matter and Theoretical Physics, are welcome to apply.
If you fit this profile, send me an email with a cv, and a brief statement of your research interests.
Topics for Master thesis are regularly proposed. If you are looking for possible thesis subjects, check the research webpage for more information about what I do. You can also take a look at the topics of former Master students in the students webpage. If you are interested in one of these research areas, you can check some of the thesis subjects in the Physics Department webpage, however you should contact me directly since not all the topics are shown there.
Students are strongly encouraged to contact me during the semester prior to the starting of their thesis. This allows enough time to chose an appropriate topic and to adjust the work-plan students interests.
If you are a MEFT students in the 3rd or 4th year and you want to invest a few hours per week starting a research project:
- check my research areas (see research webpage);
- if your are interested, send me your CV, academic record, and brief account of your research interests.
