Postdoc Position in Theoretical Condensed Matter Physics, Niels Bohr Institute, Faculty of Science, University of Copenhagen Postdoc Position in Theoretical Condensed Matter Physics, Niels Bohr Institute, Faculty of Science, University of Copenhagen A postdoc position is open in the theory group of Michele Burrello in Niels Bohr Institute (University of Copenhagen). The research activity will focus on topological phases of matter and it will be carried out in the Center for Quantum Devices (QDEV) and in collaboration with the Niels Bohr International Academy (NBIA). The appointment duration is two years. The starting date is flexible (between the 1st of September 2021 and the 1st of January 2022). The position is funded by the Villum Foundation Young Investigator Grant “Architectures for non-Abelian Anyons”. The main research topic will be the theoretical study of models with topological order and anyons in low-dimensional quantum many-body systems, including both solid state and ultracold atom setups. The applicant should have a PhD degree in physics (or expect to defend her/his PhD thesis in the next months), with a strong background in condensed matter or quantum many-body theory. Preference will be given to candidates with experience in one of the following fields: topological phases of matter, strongly-correlated ultracold atom or electronic systems, quantum simulations of many-body models or tensor network simulations. The Center for Quantum Devices is a basic research center supported by the Danish National Research Foundation, comprising materials research, experimental physics, nanoelectronics and condensed matter theory. Information about QDev can be found at qdev.dk. The Niels Bohr International Academy is an independent center of excellence for fundamental research hosted by the Niels Bohr Institute. Its main research areas include astroparticle physics, biophysics, condensed matter physics, quantum information, particle physics, cosmology, and theoretical astrophysics.
