Job Description:

The research group of Prof. Ming Xie in the Physics Department at The University of Texas at Dallas invites applications for a postdoctoral position in theoretical and computational condensed matter physics.

We are seeking a creative, independent, and highly motivated researcher with expertise and interest in theoretical and numerical studies of many-body interacting and topological quantum matter. Our group's research spans a broad range of topics, including but not limited to correlated and topological phases; topological flat-band materials; moiré superlattices; two-dimensional materials; superconductivity; collective excitations (e.g., excitons, magnons, skyrmions); integer and fractional quantum (anomalous) Hall effects; machine learning approaches for quantum many-body problems. We are also interested in developing innovative approaches to harness novel physical properties of these systems for device applications and quantum simulation and computation.

Ideal candidates will have a strong background in theoretical modeling and/or numerical simulations of quantum matter, including their electronic structure, electron-electron correlations, topology, and transport/optical properties. The position offers opportunities to collaborate with colleagues in diverse areas of condensed matter and quantum physics within the department and across different institutions. We are committed to fostering an inclusive, supportive research environment that empowers every member to reach their full potential.

Review of applications will continue until the position is filled. The preferred start date is Fall 2025 or Spring 2026, with a latest possible start no later than Fall 2026.
