Postdoctoral Position in Computational Condensed Matter Physics

Are you a highly-motivated researcher who would like to work at the forefront of current research in quantum many-body physics using state-of-the-art computational methods?

Applications are invited for a 2-year postdoc position in the Computational Condensed Matter Physics group of dr. Philippe Corboz at the University of Amsterdam (UvA). The group is part of the Condensed Matter Theory group at the Institute for Theoretical Physics (ITFA) and Institute of Physics (IOP) at the UvA, the Delta Institute of Theoretical Physics (D-ITP), and QuSoft, the Dutch research center for quantum software. The successful applicant will be embedded in a stimulating research environment, including leading groups in condensed matter theory and experiment.

The position is part of the NexGenTeN ERC project which focuses on the development and application of 2D tensor network algorithms for the accurate study of strongly correlated quantum many-body systems. Research areas include the development of 2D tensor network algorithms for ground states, spectral functions, finite temperature simulations, open systems, and multi-scale approaches, with applications in single and multi-band Hubbard models, frustrated magnets, SU(N) systems, open quantum systems, and other strongly correlated systems.

What are you going to do?
You You will:

• conduct original research in the field of tensor networks applied to strongly correlated systems, resulting in academic publications in peer-reviewed international journals
• play an active role in the group, including collaboration with other group members and co-supervision of students
• participate in the CMT group activities (such as seminars, journal clubs, etc.)
• present your results at international workshops and conferences
