Junior Research Team Leaders (IBS senior researcher position) The Center for Theoretical Physics of Complex Systems invites applications for one or two
Junior Research Team Leaders in the broad field of condensed matter physics, mesoscopics,
quantum thermodynamics, quantum computing, and the physics of light.
The successful candidates will research and lead team research with designated teams of young
postdoctoral fellows and PhD students. The focus of the team research can be on uncovering
fundamental interacting many-body processes in trapped atomic condensates, superconducting
networks, metamaterials, quantum dot arrays, plasmonic and nanophotonic structures, mesoscopics,
photonics, and non-equilibrium quantum thermodynamics, among others. New proposed directions are
highly welcomed. Strong oral and written communication skills, excellent computational skills and the ability to lead a
research project with allocated Center members are essential. Applicants should have a PhD,
postdoctoral research experience, as well as a strong interest to work in a multidisciplinary and
dynamic research environment. The teams draw on infrastructure and administration of the Institute
for Basic Science, Korea, and are provided with research expenses including travel expenses and
conference participation fees. The successful candidates will lead teams of two to four center members
on postdoctoral and PhD levels. The duration of the positions will be for three years, with the possibility of prolongation for two
additional years. The competitive salary will be commensurate with experience. Team leaders may
qualify for faculty positions within the IBS-UST graduate school, including lecturing and supervising. Interested applicants should send a cover letter, CV (including a publication list), a detailed team
research plan, consent form(attachment in IBS Job board) and arrange for three letters of
recommendations directed to via email (mykim@ibs.re.kr). Application deadline: October 31, 2020 (Link for Job announcement) https://www.ibs.re.kr/prog/recruit/eng/sub04_01/view.do?pageIndex=1&searchCondition=&searchKeyword=&idx=1116 The Institute for Basic Science (IBS), established in November 2011, is Korea’s first dedicated basic science
research institute. Currently, 30 research centers in physics, chemistry, mathematics, life sciences, earth science,
and interdisciplinary fields operate under the IBS. For more information see www.ibs.re.kr. The Center for Theoretical Physics of Complex Systems (PCS), operated under the IBS, was founded in
December 2014, with scientific activities starting in May 2015. Besides hosting resident researchers, the PCS
runs an active Visitor and Workshop Program aimed at providing young scientists an excellent research
environment and connections with worldwide leaders in a broad variety of emerging fields. For more
