| Job Description:
Summary of Duties and Responsibilities:
The candidate will conduct research at the interface of condensed matter theory and quantum information science, as part of a research team led by Thomas Iadecola and Peter P. Orth. Potential research directions include the development of quantum computing algorithms for non-equilibrium dynamics in strongly correlated models with possible applications in many-body localization and non-linear response of quantum materials. This position is (partially) funded by a recent NSF grant “Variational Quantum Algorithms for Nonequilibrium Quantum Many-Body Systems”.
The successful candidate will have excellent verbal and written communication skills, and will be able to communicate effectively to a wide variety of audiences. The individual must be able to work effectively with team members.
This position is for one year with the possibility to extend for a second year upon mutual agreement.
Please arrange for three letters of recommendation to be sent to iadecola@iastate.edu and porth@iastate.edu
Required Minimum Qualifications:
PhD in Condensed Matter Theory, Quantum Information Theory, or a related field completed by start date.
Preferred Qualifications:
1. Research experience in quantum many-body physics and/or quantum information science, 2. Strong analytical and/or numerical skills in techniques suited for the study of quantum many-body systems, 3. Strong verbal and written communication skills in English., 4. Potential for productive collaboration within the research team led by T. Iadecola and P. P. Orth. |
