Postdoctoral Position in Theoretical Condensed Matter Physics

Application Deadline: Open until filled
Position Start Date: September 1, 2008

The Mag Lab has an opening for a postdoctoral position in Condensed Matter Theory, beginning September 1, 2008. This position will involve theoretical research work in a wide variety of areas, including: theory of correlated electronic systems, superconductivity, quantum magnetism, quantum Hall effect, quantum information theory, metal-insulator transitions, statistical mechanics of non-equilibrium and glassy systems, and related problems.

The position will remain available until filled. The application materials may be submitted in hard-copy format, or alternatively through email in electronic (PDF) format. Applicants should provide a Curriculum Vitae, including a list of publications, and have at least three letters of reference send to:

Prof. Vladimir Dobrosavljevic

Postdoctoral Research Associate

Application Deadline: Until filled
Position Start Date: Immediate opening

The Mag Lab has an an immediate opening for a Postdoctoral Research Associate to perform ultrafast optical measurements on strongly correlated electron systems. Preference will be given to candidates who have a strong commitment to collaboration and can actively participate in programs within National High Magnetic Field Laboratory.

Candidates having experience in visible and near-IR optics are invited to apply, but preference will be given to those with an extensive background in ultrafast measurements (e.g. Kerr effects, second-harmonic generation, THz) or Raman spectroscopy. The successful candidate will initially perform fundamental research on colossally magnetoresistive materials using various magneto-optical techniques. He/she will also be expected to contribute to collaborative research in other systems including multiferroics and semiconductor nanocrystals. He/she should have knowledge of He4 and He3 cryogenics and must have experience with LabVIEW programming.

Minimum Qualifications include a Ph.D. degree in physics or related fields.

If interested in applying, candidates should email a letter of interest and a current vita to:

Dr. Stephen McGill
National High Magnetic Field Laboratory
