The department of physics at IIT Kanpur has immediate openings for multiple postdoc positions in the broad area of quantum condensed matter theory and simulation of materials. The department seeks applications for motivated and interested postdoc candidates by Aug 31, 2023.

IIT Kanpur is one of the leading institutes in the world and is well known for its excellent research programs on condensed matter physics and materials science. The Quantum Condensed Matter Theory (QCMT) section in the physics department consists of several faculty members, research scholars and postdocs who work on a wide range of topics such as

  • Strongly correlated systems

  • Topological and other quantum materials

  • Quantum transport

  • Non-equilibrium phenomena

  • Superconductivity

  • Ab-initio methods and their applications

  • Machine learning and materials informatics

The colleagues in condensed matter theory section in the department engage in strong collaborative and interdisciplinary research with theory and experimental groups within and outside the institute. The scholars and postdocs are strongly encouraged to participate in national and international conferences to present their work and initiate scientific exchanges with the expert in the communities. The department has access to good HPCs and a Param class of supercomputing facilities hosted at the institute. More details about the QCMT group can be found here (https://sites.google.com/view/cmt-iitk/)

Desired qualifications:

  • Degree in physics, chemistry, materials science or related disciplines

  • Solid knowledge in condensed matter physics, electronic structure theory

  • Research experience in the field of topological materials, transport phenomena

  • Expertise in materials modelling using first principles methods

  • Good analytical and programming skills

  • Experience in applying machine learning methods in condensed matter problems

Benefits:

  • Salary: INR 60k+/month + HRA

  • Contingency: INR 100k/year

Deadline: Aug 31, 2023
