Research Fellow - Condensed Matter Physics of 2D Materials

INL is seeking a qualified Post-doctoral Research Fellow, a theoretical condensed matter physicist with deep knowledge on condensed matter physics of 2D materials.

Job Role & Key Responsibilities

As a Research Fellow in Condensed Matter Physics of 2D Materials you will take on a key role within the following responsibilities:

• Carry out competitive research in the Department of Quantum Materials, Science and Technology, in the group of Electrodynamics of 2D Materials;
• Participate in international conferences for dissemination of the scientific work done in the group of Electrodynamics of 2D Materials;
• Participate actively in the organization of scientific events organized by the Department of Quantum Materials, Science and Technology;
• Participate actively in outreach activities conducted by the group of Electrodynamics of 2D materials;
• Supervise Master students and give support in the supervision of PhD. 

Job Requirements

Applicants should meet the majority of the following requirements:

• PhD degree in Theoretical Condensed Matter Physics (mandatory);
• Previous post-doctoral experience in Theoretical Condensed Matter Physics;
• Expertise in atomistic calculations of electronic and magnetic properties of low-dimensional systems, including Green Function methods and real-space recursion techniques;
• Expertise in numerical methods for solving electronic problems with strong disorder;
• Expertise in many-body perturbation theory, renormalization group methods, equation of motion techniques, and non-perturbative methods applied to both spin and charge dynamics in low-dimensional systems;
• Experience in numerical methods for large-scale linear algebra problems, solution of large non-linear systems, and multi-dimensional integration;
• Experience with parallel programming, both in shared memory and distributed memory architectures;
• Deep interest in light matter interactions involving both charge and spin degrees of freedom;
• Proven publication track record in top notch scientific journals.
• If the applicant does not have a PhD degree in theoretical condensed matter physics then is asked to not apply for this position as the lack of such degree implies his/her immediate exclusion.

Personal Skills

• Strong motivation to work both independently and as part of a team in an interdisciplinary environment, with the ability to pay close attention to detail and to meet deadlines;
