We are an active research group with a culture of open discussion, creative interdisciplinary thought and substantial international collaborations. Potential research topics include the following:

- Tensor network approaches to condensed matter systems,
- theory of dissipative quantum many-body systems,
- theory of quantum chemistry,
- notions of topological order and topological quantum computing,
- methods of compressed sensing in quantum many-body theory.

Applicants must have demonstrated excellent research accomplishments in the past. Candidates must hold a PhD degree in physics, chemistry, mathematics or computer science. Interested candidates are invited to submit

- a letter indicating their main research interests,
- a detailed curriculum vitae,
- a list of publications,
- the electronic (email) contact details of three potential referees.

All applications should be sent in electronic form to jense@physik.fu-berlin.de with the key word "Postdoc2016" in the subject line. Review of the applications will begin after June 27, 2016 and will continue until the positions are filled. Early submissions are appreciated. The start date is flexible.
