The Johns Hopkins Institute for Quantum Matter announces two postdoctoral positions in condensed-matter theory. The successful candidates will work on problems in quantum magnetism, superconductivity, and related areas with the goal of advancing our understanding of materials with strong electron correlations. Early access to experimental results and opportunities to shape the experimental agenda distinguishes theoretical work at the IQM.
Funded by the Office of Basic Energy Sciences of the US Department of Energy, the IQM seeks to expose and understand materials dominated by quantum coherence and quantum correlations. The institute combines chemical synthesis, advanced spectroscopy, and
theoretical analysis for new fundamental understanding of interacting quantum particles and to discover materials with a potential for applications in the energy and information technology sectors. The IQM is a collaboration between the Johns Hopkins University and Princeton University. The principal investigators are C. Broholm (Director), N. P. Armitage, R. J. Cava (Princeton), O. Tchernyshyov, and Z. Tesanovic. Further information about the Institute is available at http://iqm.jhu.edu.
Applications, including a CV and a list of publications should be sent to iqm@jhu.edu with
the subject line "IQM theory postdoc." The applicant should arrange for three letters of recommendation to be sent by email to the same address. Applications received by December 23, 2009 will receive full considerations. The Johns Hopkins University strongly encourage applications from underrepresented groups.
NOTES:
2 openings. International Candidates Will Be Considered. Employer will assist with relocation costs. Additional Salary Information: Competitive
Requirements
A Ph. D. in Physics, familiarity with the tools of modern theoretical physics and experience in the field of strongly correlated materials are required. We seek candidates with strong interpersonal and communication skills.
