Department: Physics
Position Summary:
A postdoctoral research position is available in the group of Dr. Camelia Prodan in the Department of Physics at Fordham University's Rose Hill campus.
This is a one-year appointment with the possibility of renewal for an additional year, contingent on performance and funding availability.
The successful candidate will conduct research on Classical Nonlinear and Quantum Correlated Regimes and/or Fractal and Hyperbolic Systems. Working closely with the Principal Investigator (PI), the postdoctoral researcher will plan and execute independent research projects, perform simulations and experiments, publish results, present at conferences and workshops, and contribute to the development of new methodologies. The researcher will also assist the PI in mentoring and directing the work of junior research staff.
