Description

 

Post-Doctoral Research Associate - Physics

A Postdoctoral position in Condensed Matter Theory is available in the Department of Physics & Astronomy at the University of Tennessee, Knoxville, in the group of Professors Elbio Dagotto and Adriana Moreo.

Areas of interest are high critical temperature superconductors, spin liquids, topological systems, mixing spin-orbit coupling and correlation effects, quasi one-dimensional chains and ladders, oxide interfaces, bulk complex oxides, skyrmions, Majoranas, strong correlation combined with topology, multiferroic materials, and several others.

We are primarily interested in candidates with knowledge in computational many-body techniques, particularly Density Matrix Renormalization Group (both static and time/omega dependent, Lanczos/Exact Diagonalization, Monte Carlo simulations in its many variations, mean-field and variational approximations, and others. But many-body expertise of any kind will also be seriously considered.
Information about our group can be found in http://sces.phys.utk.edu

The main location for this work will be at the University of Tennessee. However, our group has a close connection with Oak Ridge National Laboratory where part of the postdoctoral effort could be performed.

Qualifications

 

The Department has an exemplary research record, with seven professors earning NSF CAREER awards in the past eight years, eight professors among the world’s top two percent of physicists based on citation count, the award of the prestigious American Physical Society 2021 Bonner Prize, eleven APS Fellows, and three AAAS Fellows. The University of Tennessee, Knoxville is Tennessee’s flagship state research institution, a campus of choice for outstanding undergraduates and a premier graduate institution with a number of nationally and internationally ranked programs and with national and international leadership in numerous fields
