Applications are invited for appointment as Post-doctoral Fellow in Theoretical Condensed Matter Physics and AMO Physics in the Department of Physics (Ref.: 511460), to commence as soon as possible for two years, with the possibility of renewal subject to satisfactory performance.

Applicants should possess a Ph.D. degree in Physics.  The appointee will conduct research on the theory of degenerate quantum gases in the group of Dr. Shizhong Zhang. Current research topics of the group cover a broad range in cold atom physics, including, but not limited to, transport phenomena in Bose and Fermi gases and novel quantum states in confined geometry. Collaborations with other members of the theoretical condensed matter group in HKU are encouraged. Information about the Department can be obtained at http://www.physics.hku.hk/ . 

A highly competitive salary commensurate with qualifications and experience will be offered, in addition to annual leave and medical benefits.  At current rates, salaries tax does not exceed 15% of gross income.
