Post-doctoral Position in Electron Quantum Simulator: ICFO – The Institute of Photonic Sciences is offering postdoctoral positions to highly qualified, motivated, and dynamic scientists wishing to enhance their careers in a stimulating research environment. This position involves working in the international QTWIST program with leading researchers from MIT, Harvard, and ICFO on a groundbreaking project related to the development of a novel analogue electron quantum simulator.
Post-doctoral Position in Analogue Electron Quantum Simulator
Designation:
Postdoctoral Research Scientist
Research Area:
Condensed Matter Physics, Quantum Simulators, Graphene Superlattices, Correlated Electron States.
Location:
Barcelona, Spain (ICFO – The Institute of Photonic Sciences)
Eligibility/Qualification:
- Ph.D. (or nearing completion) in Condensed Matter Physics or a closely related field.
- Experience in electron transport of correlated systems.
- Expertise in the fabrication of van der Waals heterostructures.
Job Description:
The selected candidate will work on the development of a novel analogue electron quantum simulator. The project aims to construct an experimental tool based on a graphene superlattice to explore macroscopic observables (e.g., electrical resistivity, magnetization) and probe the many-body quantum wavefunction of correlated electronic states. The research will address phenomena such as high-Tc superconductivity, heavy fermions in a Kondo lattice, and integer/fractional Chern insulators.
Responsibilities include conducting advanced experiments in condensed matter physics, collaborating with international research groups, and contributing to cutting-edge research in the field.
How to Apply:
Applicants are requested to submit the following documents:
- A presentation letter with a declaration of interest.
- A detailed Curriculum Vitae, including contact details.
- Contact information for two referees.
Applications will be evaluated on a rolling basis until a suitable candidate is identified.
Last Date to Apply:
Until positions are filled.
