Postdoc in Cavity-Material Engineering
4 days ago
We are seeking a motivated Post-Doctoral Researcher to develop atomistic simulation for the design of novel quantum phases in strongly interacting light-matter systems. You will join the "Theory of light-matter interaction in quantum materials" group at DTU physics. Check our website here.
About the Project
You will join the research activities of a recently funded Villum Young Investigator project. This project rethinks material design by mixing light and matter at the quantum level. You will work on the discovery of equilibrium quantum phase transitions induced by the quantum fluctuations of light in optical cavities hosting solid state crystals. You will develop the theoretical tools to simulate realistic, tunable and responsive light-matter systems.
You will be strongly involved in the activities of our recently funded SPARKLE network – a European collaboration across 8 different European countries to push the boundaries of polaritonic materials. Visit SPARKLE's website here.
As a PostDoc at DTU, you will:
- Design and develop advanced atomistic simulation methodologies for studying interacting light-matter systems.
- Collaborate internationally with leading researchers in light-matter interaction and ab-initio simulations.
This position provides an exciting opportunity to work at the forefront of interdisciplinary research, combining theory and computational techniques to make an impact in the future of quantum technologies.
What we are looking for:
- Have excellent publications record.
- Be motivated, dedicated, and capable of working collaboratively within a team.
- Possess experience in theoretical condensed matter physics, especially in ab initio simulations for materials.
- Be proficient in scientific programming (preferably Python and Fortran) and comfortable working with scientific software.
- Demonstrate strong communication skills (in English) and the ability to present and discuss scientific ideas effectively.
As a formal qualification, you must hold a PhD degree (or equivalent) in Physics, Materials Science or equivalent.
Who you will be working with:
You will be working at the department of physics at DTU with Assistant Professor Simone Latini within the 2DPHYS section (for more info on the section visit the website here). You will be able to participate in the activities of the SPARKLE European wide network and you will have the unique opportunity of research stays in other institutions. You will also benefit from the tight connections to the Max Planck Institute for the Structure and Dynamics of Matter in Hamburg, Germany.
