Look for good schools in condensed matter physics. Check the profs' & research groups' pages to find people working in spintronics, see if you like what they're working on.

Not terribly familiar with the field, but is this even a serious research area anymore? It was my impression that nobody has ever even made a good spinFET or, at the very least, they are so hard to make that the majority of papers are theoretical.
