We invite applications for a PhD position in the field of "Computational Condensed Matter Physics", to be competitively funded via a Vice Chancellors Scholarship of the University of Kent, Canterbury, UK.

The aim of this PhD project is to develop a quantitative model of heavy-fermion materials, using numerical diagrammatic Monte-Carlo methods, and focusing on the understanding of exotic phases such as heavy-fermion Fermi liquids and -superconductors.

This project will offer exposure to both numerical and analytical methods of quantum many-body physics. The candidate will perform tasks including code development, simulation and data analysis, application of analytic models, and comparison to theory predictions, allowing them to develop their understanding of condensed matter physics alongside strong computational and programming skills. 

The position is available starting in the academic year 2019/20.

Deadline for applications: 8 February 2019
