Position Description | Postdoctoral Research Positions in Condensed Matter Theory at Harvard University The Quantum Condensed Matter Theory groups, led by Professors Bertrand Halperin (Emeritus), Mikhail Lukin, Subir Sachdev, Ashvin Vishwanath, Norman Yao, Susanne Yelin and Eslam Khalaf in the Department of Physics, and by Professor Efthimios Kaxiras (SEAS/Physics), expect to appoint one or more postdoctoral fellows beginning in Fall 2023. We are looking for candidates with interests in quantum mechanical condensed matter theory including: strongly correlated electron systems & mesoscopics, topological phases, ultracold atomic gases, quantum optics, and quantum information. Candidates should also arrange for letters of recommendation to be submitted by three scientists familiar with their work. Candidates may also wish to include selected preprints or reprints of articles they have written. All involved faculty members will jointly consider all complete applications. Applicants will automatically be considered for the Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation Postdoctoral Fellowship. These fellowships provide funding for up to three years, and are part of the Moore Foundation’s Emergent Phenomena in Quantum Systems (EPiQS) initiative. Moore postdocs enjoy a great deal of independence, can choose their research topics, and work with multiple faculty members. Candidates for this position must have completed their Ph.D. degree by the appointment start date; demonstrate outstanding research in theoretical condensed matter physics appropriate to level of the position; and have the ability to identify and pursue research problems independently while working well in an interactive and dynamic setting. All applicants will automatically be considered for the HQI Postdoctoral Fellowship, subject to the availability of funds. For information about the HQI Postdoctoral Fellowship, please visit https://quantum.harvard.edu/postdoctoral-fellowships-quantum-science-and-engineering . All applicants will also be considered for possible postdoctoral fellowship positions with Harvard PIs, sponsored by the Simons Collaboration on Ultra-Quantum Matter. More details about the Collaboration can be found at: https://projects.iq.harvard.edu/ultra-qm . Harvard University is an equal opportunity employer and all qualified applicants will receive consideration for employment without regard to race, color, religion, sex, national origin, disability status, protected veteran status, gender identity, sexual orientation, pregnancy and pregnancy-related conditions or any other characteristic protected by law. Applications and supporting materials should arrive by 1 November 2023, for full consideration. However later applications may also be considered on a rolling basis. |
