CMTC Postdoctoral Position

About this position

• Postdoctoral applications are currently being accepted by the Condensed
• Matter Theory Center (CMTC) at the University of Maryland, Department
• of Physics. To apply, upload your CV, research statement, publication
• list, and have at least 3 letters of reference submitted on your
• behalf. We anticipate hiring 2-4 new CMTC Postdoctoral Fellows to
• start in August/September 2027. All applicants will also be considered
• for a Janet Lynn Das Sarma (JLDS) Prize Postdoctoral Position. We are
• interested in all aspects of quantum condensed matter theory defined
• broadly, but there is particular current interest in the following
• topics (although applications showing other interests will still be
• considered): solid state quantum computation using semiconductors
• and/or superconductors, spin qubits and spin decoherence, topological
• quantum matter, topological quantum computation, strongly correlated
• phenomena, physics of two dimensional systems including quantum Hall
• effects and quantum anomalous Hall effects, graphene and twisted moire
• materials, semiconductor quantum dots, superconductivity, machine
• learning of quantum matter, emergent Majorana fermions in solid state
• materials and the physics of non-Abelian anyons, quantum spin liquids,
• low dimensional systems, Dirac and Weyl systems, quantum many-body
• aspects of cold atoms and molecules, many-body localization, physics
• of fractons, topological quantum field theories, topological
• superconductivity including higher order topologies, tensor networks
• and quantum entanglement, symmetry-protected topological phases,
• quantum dynamics, transport in strongly correlated systems, and
• quantum scrambling. CMTC is a theory center of faculty members, 10-20
• postdoctoral fellows, 10-20 doctoral graduate students, and occasional
• visitors. CMTC is engaged in all aspects of quantum condensed matter
• theory. CMTC is closely connected to JQI at Maryland with the CMTC
• faculty members involved in JQI activities. To get some idea about the
• breadth of CMTC research interests, please visit
• https://www.physics.umd.edu/cmtc/. The deadline for applications is
• November 15, 2026. The University of Maryland, College Park, actively
• subscribes to a policy of equal employment opportunity, and will not
• discriminate against any employee or applicant because of race, age,
• sex, color, sexual orientation, physical or mental disability,
• religion, ancestry or national origin, marital status, genetic
