Position Description:

The Center for Quantum Leaps and the Department of Physics at the Washington University in St. Louis invites applications for postdoctoral positions with a start date of around August 15, 2025.

This postdoctoral position will work primarily with Shaffique Adam on the theory of electronic properties of twisted 2D materials looking at properties like superconductivity and strongly correlated physics. For this position, familiarity with techniques like diagrammatic perturbation theory and/or building effective continuum models for moiré systems is highly desirable.

Will be part of a stimulating environment for quantum condensed matter, quantum information, and atomic, molecular, and optical physics with ample opportunity to collaborate with other theorists (Zohar Nussinov, Alexander Seidel, and Li Yang) and experimentalists (Erik Henriksen, Kater Much, Sheng Ren, Xi Wang, and Chong Zu) at the department of physics. Exceptional candidates can simultaneously apply for the Jaynes Prize Fellowship [https://physics.wustl.edu/jaynes-fellowship] that will provide more research independence.

Interested candidates should submit an application that includes as a single PDF file: (i) a short cover letter, (ii) a curriculum vitae with a complete list of publications, (iii) a short statement of research accomplishments and interests, and (iv) the names and contact information of three senior colleagues who have agreed to provide letters of recommendation. For full consideration, applications should be received prior to January 31, 2025. Late applications will be considered until the position is filled. Only short-listed candidates will be notified. Required Qualifications Education: Ph.D., M.D. Or Equivalent Terminal Or Doctoral Degree.
