Close Date: November 11, 2022

Fermilab’s Quantum Theory Department in the Theory Division is inviting applications for one or more postdoctoral Research Associate positions in the area of theoretical quantum physics and/or information science, working at its interface with High Energy Physics, quantum field theory, and fundamental physics. 

This position is for a three (3) year term. 

We are seeking candidates with a doctorate in theoretical physics who have demonstrated outstanding creativity and a high level of competence in their research. 

Topics of interest include: 

The Theory Department also leads a QIS-HEP theory QuantISED consortium in collaboration with groups at Caltech, U. of Washington - (INT and IQuS), MIT, UIUC, and Purdue U. The successful candidate will play central roles in these efforts and enhance the theoretical QIS research in the department. Within SQMS, theorists will have an opportunity to interact with experimentalists advancing the state of the art in coherent superconducting devices to pursue applications in both quantum computation and quantum sensing. 

The Fermilab Theory Division has a strong research program in high energy physics, astro-particle physics, cosmology and quantum theory. Current staff members of the Quantum Theory Department are Asher Berlin, Marcela Carena, Roni Harnik, Gordon Krnjaic, Henry Lamm, Ruth Van der Water, and Michael Wagman, together with several postdoctoral researchers. They interact frequently with other division scientists (John Campbell, Bogdan Dobrescu, Patrick Fox, Walter Giele, Nick Gnedin, Christopher Hill, Stefan Höche, Dan Hooper, Andreas Kronfeld, Pedro Machado, Stephen Parke, Noemi Rocco, and Albert Stebins).
