A postdoctoral position in condensed matter theory is available in Wang-Kong Tse's research group at the University of Alabama, Tuscaloosa. The postdoctoral scientist will carry out theoretical research on transport and many-body effects of low-dimensional systems driven into non-equilibrium conditions. The research activities of the group are broadly concerned with optical, magnetic and non-equilibrium properties of quantum materials and heterostructures, including two-dimensional materials and topological matter. More information about our group can be found at http://tsegroup.ua.edu/.

The successful candidate will have prior experience in quantum many-body theoretical techniques and proficient numerical skills using one of the standard programming languages. Previous research experience in optical and non-equilibrium transport properties (using e.g. Keldysh or Floquet formalism) is highly desirable.

A Ph.D. is required at the beginning of the appointment. The position will start on Jan 8^th 2024 (an earlier or a later start date is also possible) and the appointment term will be one year. A  second year reappointment is possible subject to mutual agreement and funds availability.

Applicants should submit the following:

1. a CV (including a publication list and a list of three references)
2. a concise statement of research interest (up to 1 page)
3. reprints/preprints of two or three selected publications

to the university employment website (for items 1 and 2) at https://careers.ua.edu/jobs/c5a2b9ac-f6f4-402f-be8f-1aea831950c9

and separately by email to wktse@ua.edu with the subject line “CMT postdoc application” and arrange for three recommendation letters to be sent to the same email address. Review of applications will begin immediately and will continue until the position is filled.
