The Physics Department at Virginia Tech invites applications for a Postdoctoral Researcher in the
overlapping areas of theoretical quantum condensed matter and atomic, molecular, and optical
(AMO) physics. The research involves modelling quantum many-body states of matter. Example
topics of interest include topological states, flat bands, exotic superfluids, and quantum Hall effects. Modelling will apply to a variety of systems, but an emphasis on AMO systems is expected. Close collaboration with experimental groups working in AMO will be encouraged. Candidates should be
familiar with methods in quantum many-body theory. Additional expertise in computational methods
is highly desirable. The position includes opportunities for travel both to present at conferences and
to collaborate with other groups. Candidates should have a Ph.D. in physics or a related field. This
research will be conducted with Professor Vito Scarola (scarola@vt.edu) and his research group at
Virginia Tech (scarola.phys.vt.edu).To apply, submit an online application that includes a curriculum vitae, a cover letter, and a list of at least 3 references to jobs.vt.edu (job number 521643) or visit scarola.phys.vt.edu/Openings. Interested applicants can also contact Professor Vito Scarola, scarola@vt.edu, for more information. |
