Postdoctoral position in condensed matter and quantum information theoryWe are currently offering an (extendable) 3-year postdoctoral positionto a highly motivated and well-qualified young researcher who intendsto enhance his or her career on the intersection of condensed mattertheory and quantum information science. The successful candidate willwork as part of the research group led by Jens Eisert at the FUBerlin. For an overview of research activities of the group, seehttp://www.physik.fu-berlin.de/en/einrichtungen/ag/ag-eisert/researchWe are a leading research group with a culture of open discussion,creative interdisciplinary thought and substantial internationalcollaborations. Potential research topics include the following:- Tensor network approaches to studying condensed matter systems,- notions of topological order,- entanglement theory,- topological quantum computing and quantum memories.The full E13 position will be financed by the CRC 183 on entangledstates of matter, with Berlin, Cologne, Copenhagen, and the WeizmannInstitute being partners. This newly installed network will contributeto the stimulating research environment, and all network activitieswill be available to the candidate. For first activities of thisresearch network, seehttp://crc183.uni-koeln.deApplicants must have demonstrated excellent research accomplishmentsin the past.
