The Institute for Theoretical Physics of the University of Cologne is opening a postdoctoral position for highly motivated and well-qualified candidates to work on many-body quantum systems of solids, light and ultracold atoms, with topics including
- novel forms and field theories of non-equilibrium criticality,
- topological matter far from equilibrium,
- statistical mechanics and dynamics of quantum entanglement,
- engineering entangled states in hybrid light-matter systems.
The successful candidate will work as part of the research group lead by Sebastian Diehl. The group is embedded into an active and vibrant research environment, including two collaborative research centers (CRC 183, CRC 1238) and the Cluster of Excellence ML4Q. Involvement in ongoing local and international collaborations will be strongly encouraged.
The starting date is in Fall 2021, with some flexibility. The position is expected to extend for a period of two years, with the possibility for a renewal by a third year.
Applications should consist of a cover letter, a curriculum vitae including the publication list, and a brief (max two pages) research statement. Two letters of recommendation should be arranged for. The application and supporting material is to be submitted preferentially via this webpage. Please direct any questions regarding the position to diehl@thp.uni-koeln.de. Review of applications will begin after December 15 2020, later applications may still be considered. |
