Applicants are invited to apply for a postdoctoral Research Associate role in the group of Dr Evgeny Kozik at King’s College London with a start date from 1st April 2023. The successful applicant will join a collaboration with the experiment group led by Dr Clifford Hicks (Birmingham) and the theory group of Prof Joseph Betouras (Loughborough) focused on understanding and controlling mechanisms of unconventional superconductivity. We are looking for candidates with a background in development and application of advanced computational approaches to correlated electrons, as well as strong programming skills. Experience with diagrammatic Monte Carlo methods and studies of superconductivity or closely related problems is desired.  

 

This post will be offered on a fixed term / full time contract for one year until 31st March 2024 in the first instance, with potential for extension for up to additional three years. The following requirements will have to be fulfilled by the successful applicant:

 

Essential criteria  

1. PhD awarded or near completion in theoretical or computational condensed matter physics, or related subjects. 

2. A demonstrable record of scientific code development using modern structured and modular development practices and tools. 

3. A good knowledge of condensed matter physics. 

4. Knowledge and experience in development of advanced methods and approaches for strongly correlated electrons. 

5. Strong track record of publications. 

6. The ability to communicate clearly both orally and in writing.
            

1. An experience in diagrammatic Monte Carlo methods. 

2. An experience in studies of superconductivity or related problems of strongly correlated electrons.  

3. The ability to work part of a team.
