- Collaborate with experimental teams to validate theoretical predictions, explain unresolved experimental phenomena and guide the synthesis of new materials.
- Publish high-quality and impactful research in leading scientific journals and present findings at international conferences.
- Mentor students and junior researchers and contribute to the intellectual growth of the team.
- Apply for national and regional funds, and lead these research projects.
Qualifications:
2. Strong background in quantum mechanics, statistical mechanics, and solid-state physics.
3. Expertise in one or more of the following areas:
- 3.1 First-principles electronic structure calculations (e.g., DFT, GW, DMFT).
- 3.2 Many-body theory and model Hamiltonian approaches.
- 3.3 Machine learning/AI applications in physics or materials science.
- 3.4 Many-body numerical methods for quantum systems (e.g., quantum Monte Carlo, exact diagonalization, density matrix renormalization group, tensor networks, etc.).
- 3.5 Proficiency in programming (Python, C++, Fortran, or similar) and experience with high-performance computing.
- 3.6 A track record of innovative research, demonstrated by publications in top-tier journals.
- 3.7 Strong problem-solving skills, creativity, and a passion for tackling complex theoretical challenges.
Preferred Qualifications:
- Familiarity with quantum materials, such as superconductors, topological insulators, or strongly correlated systems.
- Would be a bonus if experienced in advanced machine learning techniques (e.g., neural networks, reinforcement learning) and their application to physics problems.
What We Offer:
2. Opportunities to work on high-impact, interdisciplinary projects at the forefront of condensed matter physics and materials science.
3. Competitive salary and benefits package.
4. Support for professional development, including conference travel and training opportunities.
