Reference No. QM 2024/17

The Department Theory of Novel Quantum Materials is looking for

Postdoc (f/m/d) for the theoretical investigation of quantum magnetic systems

Your Tasks

• You develop and apply analytical and numerical methods for the investigation of novel quantum magnetic states of matter in frustrated spin systems. Methods to be applied include, e.g., field theory approaches, exact diagonalization, renormalization group techniques or Monte-Carlo methods.

  
  

• You investigate topological properties of magnetic quantum states such as fractional quasiparticle excitations in spin liquids.

  
  

• You transfer the obtained knowledge to quantum magnetic materials

  
  

• You collaborate with experimental groups within and outside the Helmholtz-Zentrum Berlin and work in close collaboration with the Department for Physics at Freie Universität Berlin and its research groups.

  
  

• Doctoral degree in theoretical solid state physics
• Profound knowledge in the field of quantum magnetism
• Extensive experience with analytical and/or numerical methods in solid state physics.

• Motivation letter describing your scientific background and research interests
• Curriculum vitae (CV) including details of education, career stages, publications, research experience and contact details of at least two scientific references
• Scientific certifications
•
