Postdoctoral position in "Strongly correlated systems by Advanced quantum Monte Carlo methods"

A postdoctoral position at SISSA is available in the group of Prof. Sandro Sorella (http://people.sissa.it/~sorella/), starting date

June-end 2022, awarded by the Simon's collaboration on the many-electron problem (https://www.simonsfoundation.org). The main purpose of this project is to develop and use novel approaches, based on quantum Monte Carlo methods, in order to further understand the still highly debated phase diagram of strongly correlated systems, such as, for instance, the Hubbard model and its extensions relevant for high-temperature superconductors.

The interested applicant should have a strong motivation to discover new effects that may be driven by strong electron-electron or electron-phonon correlations, which cannot be detected by standard mean-field techniques. The candidate should also have excellent skills in developing codes and algorithms.

The position is for two years, with possible renewal. The net salary is about 2500euro/month with extra funds available for traveling and collaborating with the many partners involved in this project.

Interested applicants should send a CV, list of publications, research interests, and the names of two references to Sandro Sorella, [email protected].
