Job Announcement for Research Positions at Center for Theoretical Physics of Complex Systems
Our center aims to take up the grand challenge and to create a world-class laboratory for the nonlinear classical and quantum dynamics of nano-structured systems, and to conduct cutting edge research on phenomena at the interfaces of applied and computational theoretical condensed matter physics and optics. We aim to cross-fertilize research on exciton-polariton condensates, superconducting networks, quantum dot networks, ultracold atomic gases, optical waveguide networks, topology, frustration, flatband physics, Fano resonant nanoscale devices, artificial gauge fields, quantum ratchets, many body localization, disorder against interactions, artificial quasicrystals, nonintegrability, deterministic chaos, Arnold diffusion, KAM, coherence and decoherence, quantum stochastic dynamics, finite systems, targeted energy transfer, transport in nano structures, nonlinear naophotonics, topological insulators, and more. Center for Theoretical Physics of Complex Systems invites creative and dynamic talent who will help us achieve our goals.

※ Classification of Research Positions (tenure-track and non-tenure-track)
1. Types of Appointment
‣ Tenure-track
- Those in tenure-track research positions are eligible for a tenure evaluation* if they have met certain requirements.
‣ Non-tenure-track
- Those in non-tenure-track research positions are not eligible for a tenure evaluation and their contracts are terminated upon expiration.
* Tenured researcher: Tenured researchers are continuously employed until the age of 65 with no need to renew their contracts.
2. Terms and Conditions
- Researchers are hired under employment contracts and the term of their initial contracts does not exceed five years (not for tenured researchers).
3. Tenure-track
‣ Tenure evaluation
- If those in tenure-track research positions have met certain requirements, the Personnel Committee for IBS Research Centers will conduct a tenure evaluation on whether to appoint them as tenured researchers.
‣ Re-evaluation and retirement
- If they fail to obtain tenure, then they must be re-evaluated within a fixed period set by the IBS president.
(If they fail a second time, they must, ipso facto, leave after a grace period of no more than one year.)
4. Non-tenure-track
- The term of their contracts does not exceed five years, and they must, ipso facto, leave after their contracts expire.
(They may be re-appointed to tenure-track positions upon a special evaluation.)
‣ Re-evaluation and retirement
- Once the initial contract expires, the IBS president may grant a contract renewal with a term that does not exceed three years.
