The theoretical condensed matter physics group at University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee (UWM) invites applications for a postdoctoral research position, primarily with the research group of Prof. Daniel Agterberg (‪Daniel Agterberg - ‪Google Scholar). The initial appointment is for one year, with renewal for a second-year contingent on satisfactory performance. Applicants should have a PhD in physics or a related field. The theoretical condensed matter group at UWM has active research efforts in condensed matter theory, with expertise in correlations and topology in quantum materials, first-principles electronic structure calculations, superconductivity, and strongly correlated electronic systems. The core group is comprised of 2 faculty (Daniel Agterberg, Michael Weinert), 1 scientist (Tatsuya Shishidou), and 3 graduate students.

We are recruiting one postdoctoral research associate in quantum materials with an emphasis on superconductivity to enhance the existing team and to strengthen our collaborative efforts in this field. Applicants with backgrounds in quantum materials, density functional theory, superconductivity, topological band theory, and strongly correlated electron systems are encouraged to apply. The position includes competitive salary and excellent fringe benefits.

Applicants should send a C.V., publication list, and a brief statement of their research interests by email to [email protected].

Applicants should also arrange to have two letters of recommendation sent by e-mail to the above address. Review of applications will begin on January 24th, 2022. Questions should also be sent to the above address.
