Applications are invited for a postdoctoral research position in the Condensed Matter Theory group of the School of Physics and Astronomy, University of Nottingham. The successful candidate will be working on quantum many-body dynamics formulated in terms of quantum circuits. Specifically, the work will entail construction of analytically solvable models, the numerical simulations of circuit dynamics and their implementation on quantum simulation platforms.
The main responsibility of the role is to carry out theoretical and/or computational research in quantum condensed matter theory and quantum computation, broadly understood. The successful candidate(s) will also be expected to communicate the outcomes of the research in the form of publications and seminars. They will be an integral part of a team of researchers covering a broad range of theoretical areas including statistical physics, condensed matter theory, computational physics, quantum information, and machine learning. We seek motivated, skilled and highly independent researchers to complement our team.
Candidates should have a Ph.D. (or equivalent) in physics or mathematics, (or be near to completion). A strong research record in theoretical condensed matter physics, quantum computing, or a closely related field is essential.
