Post Doctoral Research Assistant - Condensed Matter Theory
Physics, Royal Holloway University of London
2218
9138
The successful applicant will join a three-year project in the theory of intertwined order in quantum many-body systems.
This project is funded by the Leverhulme Trust, and is joint with Imperial College London. An active research team is working on the project, which includes Dr Andrew Ho at RHUL and Dr Derek Lee at Imperial. The project is also supporting one research student.
The successful applicant will be based at RHUL, but will have a Visitor status with weekly visits and access to Imperial resources including high performance computing facilities.
We expect applicant to have the following qualification and knowledge:
- PhD or equivalent in a related field of study;
- Work experience in the theory of strongly correlated quantum many-body physics;
Either A): Theoretical analytical skills: Methods in field theories and/or microscopic models of quantum many-body systems and group theory;
And/or B): Computational skills in quantum condensed matter theory.
- Knowledge of current theories and experiments in at least one of the following systems: helium superfluid/solid, trapped ultracold atoms, strongly correlated electronic systems such as cuprates, iron-based superconductors;
- Work experience (e.g. data modelling, phenomenology) desirable in at least one of the following systems: helium superfluid/solid, trapped ultracold atoms, strongly correlated electronic systems such as cuprates, iron-based superconductors;
- Work experience in advanced analytical methods
