Postdoctoral Research Associate in Theoretical Condensed Matter Physics
Cardiff School of Physics and Astronomy
This position will be supported by the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC) grant “Exact Results in Aperiodic Systems”.
The postholder will work in collaboration with the group of Dr Felix Flicker on research supported by the grant.
This allows considerable flexibility, and applicants with their own research ideas are encouraged. Possible themes include quasicrystals and disordered solids; topological matter; and correlated behaviour subject to constraints, e.g. dimer models.
This post is full time, available from September 2023 and is fixed term until March 2026.
Salary: £35,333 - £42,155 per annum (Grade 6) depending on experience. It is not expected that an appointment be made above £37,474 per annum.
