Postdoctoral Positions in “Quantum optics and quantum many-body effects”

The positions are within a CQT research project led by Dimitris Angelakis in the Centre for Quantum Technologies Singapore. We are looking for highly motivated candidates who preferably have a strong research background in theoretical quantum optics. Exceptional candidates from condensed matter theory (especially from strongly correlated and/or topological quantum systems) and quantum information theory will also be considered.

The research to be undertaken will be in the interface of quantum optics, condensed matter and QIP with emphasis in the understanding of quantum many-body effects in driven-dissipative coupled light-matter systems. Candidates with experience in one or more of the following areas will be in advantage:
• Quantum many body systems
• Circuit QED, especially for QIP
• Quantum optics in cold atoms/nano-photonics interfaces
• Many-body physics with exciton-polariton or highly excited Rydberg atom systems

Applicants should ideally have an excellent background in analytical and numerical modeling of physical problems in any of the above areas. Interested candidates with a strong background in cold atom and/or ion physics for QIP may also apply. Experience in applying sophisticated numerical techniques like DMRG and TEBD, will be a plus as also collaboration with experimentalists.

The positions are available as soon as possible (for two plus one years) and we accept applications until a suitable candidate is found. Salary for appointments will be between S$ 55.000-80.000 per annum depending on experience. More senior research appointments can also be considered. Tax in Singapore for this level is roughly 5%.

Applications should be sent by email to dimitris.angelakis@gmail.com. They should contain: their CV, a summary of their past research (2 pages), a motivation letter (1 page), 1 paper/draft they consider their best work, and the contact details (email) of three referees.
