The Theory of Quantum Systems Group invites applications for a Postdoctoral Researchers in the theoretical and computational condensed matter physics group of Prof. Michał Nowak. The research involves modelling of topological superconductors, superconductor-semiconductor heterostructures, topological Josephson junctions with the aim to focus on quantum transport and nonreciprocal phenomena.

Candidates should have a Ph.D. in physics or a related field. Experience in theoretical and computational modeling of topological superconducting systems is highly desirable. Additional expertise in computational quantum transport methods is highly welcomed.

The position includes opportunities for travel both to present at conferences and to collaborate with other groups. This research will be conducted with Michał Nowak (http://mpnowak.org) and members of Theory of Quantum Systems Group (https://acmin.agh.edu.pl/2021/06/theory-of-quantum-systems/).

To apply, submit an online application that includes a curriculum vitae, a cover letter, research statement and a list of at least 2 references to mpnowak@agh.edu.pl. For full consideration, submit application materials by the review date, November 25, 2022. Applications received after the review date will be considered if needed.

The position is founded from AGH Excellence Initiative. The PostDoc candidate can't be past or present employee of AGH University and has to be under 35 years old.

Planned start date of the position: January 2023

Planned period of employment: 18 months with possibility to prolong by another 15 months

Salary: 8 000 PLN gross with extra 13th salary and possibility to apply for additional financing.
