A Ph.D. position, starting in October 2023, in Out-of-Equilibrium and Strongly Correlated Quantum Matter is available at the Department of Physics of the University of Salerno, Italy in the group of Prof. Adolfo Avella.

The research project regards the development and the application of novel theoretical methodologies for the analytical study and the numerical simulation of the optical (differential transient reflectivity, absorption, and transmission) and the spectroscopical (Tr-ARPES) response of real quantum materials brought out-of-equilibrium in pump-probe and/or electromagnetic cavity experimental setups. The main objective is to describe and understand the out-of-equilibrium behavior and time evolution of photo-injection processes, unconventional superconductivity, topological behavior, and strong correlations in prototypical semiconductors and transition-metal oxides for application in future electronics. The research project is carried out in close connection with a few teams of very excellent experimentalists in the field of ultrafast out-of-equilibrium solid-state physics.

Candidates should have adequate theoretical and/or computational physics skills, particularly for strongly-correlated and out-of-equilibrium systems [e.g. (non-equilibrium) Green's functions].

Application Deadline 18/08/2023
