Post doc in Condensed Matter Theory
Niels Bohr Institute
Faculty of Science
University of Copenhagen
The department of Physics, Faculty of Science at the University of Copenhagen is offering a 2-year post doc position in condensed matter theory starting 1 March 2022, or as soon as possible thereafter.
Description of the scientific environment
The project will be funded by a grant from the Villum Foundation. The position is part of the research group led by Brian. M. Andersen, embedded in the larger condensed matter theory group at the Niels Bohr Institute, University of Copenhagen. Significant collaboration is expected to take place with other local researchers, including Prof. K. Flensberg, J. Paaske, A. T. Rømer, M. H. Christensen (NBI), and international collaborators including T. Berlijn, I. Eremin, R. M. Fernandes, P. J. Hirschfeld, A. Kreisel, R. Valentì, and several experimental groups. For further information on the condensed matter theory group at the University of Copenhagen, please visit http://cmt.nbi.ku.dk .
Project-description
The overarching goal of the project is to obtain new fundamental insight into the origin of emergent quantum phases in timely correlated materials. This includes studies of correlation-induced nontrivial topological phases, spin- and valley-polarized states and unconventional superconductivity in correlated materials, including, for example, magic-angle twisted bilayer graphene, cuprates, kagome metals, and iron-based superconductors. In addition, we will explore the experimental consequences of the various relevant correlation-induced phases, and collaborate closely with experimental groups to test for new predictions by theory.
The postdoc’s duties will include research within condensed matter theory as well as teaching. The post may also include performance of other duties.
