| What You Will Do The Group of Condensed Matter and Complex Systems in the Theoretical Division of Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL) has immediate postdoctoral position openings in the area of theoretical study of topological quantum materials. The opened positions provide an opportunity to pursue fundamental studies of the role of electronic correlation effects and topology in quantum materials. What You Need Minimum Job Requirements: The successful candidate must have a strong skill, with an excellent scientific record of publications, in condensed matter theory and modeling of one or more aspects of topological properties (including topological superconductivity), two dimensional materials, quantum Hall systems, and/or strong correlation effects in quantum materials. Preference will be given to candidates with experience in using quantum many-body approaches to unravel the interplay between strong correlations and topology in quantum materials and/or with knowledge of quantum information science. The ability to work creatively and independently, as a part of a diverse team, is important. Strong communication and language skills, as evidenced by publications and cover letter, are required. Education: Candidates must have a Ph.D. in theoretical condensed matter or quantum materials physics (completed within the last 5 years). Notes to applicants: Please send a resume, publication list, research interests, a brief statement of future plans and the names of three references to: Dr. Shizeng Lin Email: szl@lanl.gov, Phone: +1-505-665-8794 Review of applications will begin immediately and will continue until the position is filled. The position has an initial appointment of two years.
