Cornell University's Laboratory of Atomic and Solid State Physics is soliciting applications for the Bethe/KIC Postdoctoral Fellowship. This prize fellowship will provide an outstanding theoretical physicist the opportunity to work with theorists and experimentalists in Cornell's physics department. Our group has broad interests in hard and soft condensed matter physics, including: cold atom physics, biophysics, statistical physics, hydrodynamics, electronic structure theory, materials science, strongly correlated electrons, nanoscience, computational physics and superconductivity. We also have growing efforts incorporating machine learning into studies of condensed matter physics. We actively encourage applications from diverse and historically underrepresented candidates.

Please submit a CV, publication list, and a 1-3 page research statement to Academic Jobs Online. Applicants should arrange to have three letters of reference uploaded to their application, one of which should be from the candidate's PhD adviser. Applications received by September 15, 2020 will receive full consideration and may also be considered for other Cornell University named Postdoctoral Fellowship Programs (i.e., the Klarman Fellowships). Please note that candidates must have the pre-approval of a Cornell faculty sponsor to be considered for a Klarman Fellowship. Cornell faculty sponsorship is recommended, but not required, for the Bethe/KIC Fellowship. Please review our website to identify potential matches within LASSP.

Bethe/KIC Fellows become lifetime members of the Society of Cornell Fellows - an organization of fellows who received named, prestigious, and competitively awarded postdoctoral fellowships at Cornell. This position is supported in part by the Hans Bethe Postdoctoral Fellowship and by the Kavli Institute at Cornell.
