Description (field, expectations, comments):

The competition is open to persons who meet the conditions set out in Article 113 of the Act of 20 July 2018 - Law on higher education and science (Journal of Laws of 2018, item 1668) and the following qualification criteria:

• PhD in physics or a related field;
• Fluency in English;
• Documented experience in modeling the topological properties of light or matter, solid-state theory, or computations involving quantum optics or photonics;
• Basic programming experience (Python preferred).

We offer employment at a postdoc position in a research grant financed by the National Science Center, Poland within Sonata Bis 13 competition. The candidate must meet requirements of the Center, in particular have a doctoral degree obtained not earlier than 7 years before the year of employment in the project (this period may be extended in the event of breaks in the scientific career as defined by the Center). A person employed at the postdoc position cannot be employed under another employment contract at the same time.

Main tasks:

• Software development (e.g., expansion of the tight-binding model and evolution described by the master equation, adaptation of the model to describe light localized in nanostructures, consideration of nonlinear or multipartite effects);
• Exploration of code applications, e.g. characterization of similarities and differences in the behavior of electrons in 2D materials and light in nanostructures, exploration of nonlinear phenomena or the effect of interactions or correlations on system dynamics);
• Maintenance and development of possible additional code functionality.
