Position Description
Job Description: The S. Matinyan Center for Theoretical Physics, Alikhanyan National Science Laboratory (Yerevan Physics Institute) in Yerevan, Armenia, invites applications for postdoctoral scholars. Position 1: The successful candidate will be based in Yerevan and expected to work with Tigran Sedrakyan (University of Massachusetts, Amherst) within the scope of the newly established remote program in theoretical quantum matter and quantum information physics. Collaborations with local faculty at the Alikhanyan National Science Laboratory in that area will be encouraged. Topics of interest cover a wide range of areas, including strongly correlated systems, topological states of matter, spin liquids, quantum chaos, nonequilibrium quantum physics, quantum phase transitions and critical phenomena in and away from equilibrium, topological quantum computing, quantum entanglement and nonlocality, quantum error correction and fault tolerance, quantum algorithms and complexity, and related topics. The appointments are expected to be for two years (subject to satisfactory performance during the first year) starting in Fall 2025 and include a competitive monthly salary of 550000 AMD (~$1400) and a comprehensive benefits package including family allowance (additional 150000 AMD/month) and travel funding. Position 2: The successful candidate will be based in Yerevan and expected to work with Ara Sedrakyan (Alikhanyan National Science Laboratory). Topics of interest include the physics of the quantum Hall effect, topological insulators and symmetry-protected topological phases, network models, and disordered systems. The appointments are expected to be for two years (subject to satisfactory performance during the first year) starting in Fall 2025 and include a competitive monthly salary of 550000 AMD (~$1400) and a comprehensive benefits package including family allowance (additional 150000 AMD/month) and travel funding. Requirements: Applicants must have a Ph.D. in theoretical physics or a closely related field by the time of the appointment. Preferred qualifications include experience in at least one or more of the topics above in theoretical physics. Application Instructions: To apply, please submit a current CV, a ~2 page description of your research ex-perience and interests, and arrange for 3 professional references to be uploaded to this website: https://academicjobsonline.org/ajo/jobs/28765. The priority deadline for applications is January 15, 2025. We encourage you to apply by this date to ensure your application is considered.Application Materials Required:
Submit the following items online at this website to complete your application:
- Cover letter
- Curriculum Vitae
- Research statement
- Three reference letters (to be submitted online by the reference writers on this site )
And anything else requested in the position description.
