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
