Postdoctoral position in the field of ultracold atomic gases or nuclear theory

position expired
Warsaw University of Technology Poland PL

Job Description:

The successful candidate will investigate superfluid dynamics in Fermi systems with dissipation and fluctuations. In particular, he/she is expected to pursue studies focused on the development/construction of a microscopic theoretical framework capable of executing real-time dynamics of superfluid Fermi, including temperature effects. The framework, that utilizes the density functional theory concepts will be applied to ultracold atomic or nuclear systems (neutron stars). The constructed methods will be incorporated into developed by us (open-source) software for simulating ultracold Fermi gases across BCS-BEC crossover (W-SLDA Toolkit) and its further extension to nuclear systems. Inevitably, high-performance computing (HPC) will be an essential part of the research. The position also assumes strong collaboration with our partners from USA and Japan.

The successful candidate will be employed as a research assistant professor within the project: Superfluid dynamics in Fermi systems with dissipation and fluctuations (Polish National Science Center grant), for a minimum period of 12 months, which can be extended up to 42 months.

Requirements:

Applicants must have a Ph.D. degree, or foreign equivalent, and a strong record of published research in condensed matter theory or in nuclear theory. We are looking for a candidate with knowledge of methods of many body quantum mechanics and possessing programming skills (C or Fortran, python). Knowledge of density functional theory or MPI or CUDA as well as experience with supercomputing will be an advantage.

Employment status:

Full-time position. Start date: middle of 2023 (precise date will be decided together with successful candidate).
