Center for Theoretical Physics of Complex Systems

Research Fellow / Postdoctoral / Researcher Positions

Multiple research fellow / postdoctoral / researcher positions are open for related theory projects in condensed matter physics, mesoscopics, and the physics of light. Among others the focus is on uncovering fundamental nonlinear and many-body processes in trapped atomic condensates, superconducting networks, metamaterials, quantum dot arrays, plasmonic and nanophotonic structures and mesoscopics.

Experience in one or more of the following topics will be of benefit: disorder and interactions, exciton-polariton condensates, many-body localization, nonlinear nanophotonics, quantum stochastic dynamics, superconducting networks, topology + frustration + flatbands, transport in nanostructures, ultracold atomic gases.

Strong oral and written communication skills, excellent computational skills and the ability to work effectively and congenially with other center members are essential for all positions. Applicants should have a PhD and sufficient research experience, and have strong interest to work in a multidisciplinary and dynamic research environment.

The duration of the positions depends on the qualifications and the research project, and could typically be for 2 years, with the possibility of prolongation.

Salary will commensurate with experience.

The consideration of applicants will begin immediately. Interested applicants should send an application (attached form), a CV (including a publication list), a research plan (2-4 pages) and arrange for three letters of recommendations to be sent to Dr. Sergej Flach via email (pcs@ibs.re.kr).
