Postdoctoral Fellow in Quantum Many-Body Theory 

 The Department of Physics at the University of Alberta invites applications to fill a postdoctoral position in quantum many-body theory, with a starting date in the fall of 2025 or earlier. The successful applicant will work in collaboration with Prof. Dr. Igor Boettcher (https://sites.ualberta.ca/~iboettch/). The position is a full-time 2-year appointment. The salary for the position is $60,000 CAD per year plus supplemental health benefits. The postdoctoral fellow will work on the theoretical description of quantum many-body systems, with an emphasis on novel computational and analytical approaches. 

The applicant must have a Ph.D. in theoretical physics obtained within the last five (5) years, a strong background in quantum many-body physics, and previous research experience in condensed matter theory or quantum information (analytical and/or computational). Candidates with background knowledge in applications of machine learning to solving quantum many-body problems are particularly encouraged to apply. 

Prospective candidates should submit a curriculum vitae, publication list, and brief description of research interests through AcademicJobsOnline. Applicants should also arrange for three letters of reference to be submitted by the letter writers through AcademicJobsOnline. 

The deadline for applications is December 2, 2024.
