Postdoctoral Associate, Theoretical Condensed Matter Physics

Postdoctoral Associate, Theoretical Condensed Matter Physics

The Cornell Laboratory of Atomic and Solid State Physics (LASSP) seeks a Postdoctoral Associate to join the research group of Professor Debanjan Chowdhury.

The Postdoctoral Associate will contribute to a research program focused on driven quantum systems and their applications to quantum information science, particularly in superconducting circuit platforms. This work includes the development and theoretical study of novel circuit architectures, aimed at improving coherence and enabling new approaches to quantum computation.

The Postdoctoral Associate will lead and collaborate on projects in several interconnected areas, including the study of coherence and dissipation in quantum circuits, the behavior of driven many-body systems, and the design of architectures for robust and scalable quantum information processing. These projects will involve a combination of analytical and numerical approaches and will connect closely with ongoing experimental efforts.

A Ph.D. in Physics, or a closely related field is required at the start of the appointment. Candidates with a background in quantum many-body physics, quantum information, or related areas are especially encouraged to apply. Experience in advanced numerical methods is preferred, but not required.

Applications should include:

• Complete CV
• Publication List
• Research Statement (1-3 page)
• 3 letters of reference

Pay Range:

$62,232.00 - $88,745.00
