The research group of Prof. Lilia Woods has an opening for a postdoc researcher in theoretical condensed matter physics/materials science. The project focuses on long-ranged fluctuation-induced interactions in systems with Dirac-like spectra. More specifically, the goal is to develop theoretical/computational methods to understand the fundamental nature of how van dispersive interactions (van der Waals, Casimir, etc...) evolve in materials, such as silicene, Weyl semimetal, and other topologically-nontrivial phases. The successful candidate will have strong background in theoretical condensed matter as well as computer programming proficiency. A PhD in theoretical condensed matter physics, math or theoretical chemistry is a must. Candidates with knowledge about properties of topologically-nontrivial materials are particularly encouraged to apply. This is an exciting area with lots of new opportunities for discoveries. The position is expected to start in October/November of 2015. A CV and three letters of recommendation on behalf of the candidate sent by September 30, 2015 are necessary for the application process. Please contact Prof. Woods at [email protected] for more details about this position. The interested candidate is encouraged to browse the web site of our research group at http://faculty.cas.usf.edu/lmwoods/ .
