Dear friends and colleagues, I hope this message finds you well. Apologies for the common post, but I would like to let you know that I am currently looking to fill two postdoctoral positions supported by the Simons Foundation. The detailed post (pending official approval) is given at the end of the message. If you know any suitable candidate in related areas (with a focus on methodology developments), could you please kindly spread the word? Thank you very much for your consideration.
Sincerely, Lin
The Department of Mathematics at the University of California, Berkeley invites applications for two Postdoctoral scholars supervised by Professor Lin Lin to participate in the development of new methods for simulating quantum many-body systems. There is flexibility in the detailed topics, and the positions are supported by the Simons Foundation. The projects involve collaboration with mathematicians, physicists, chemists and computer scientists at Caltech, Flatiron, Harvard, Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, Paris Tech, U Minnesota, U Texas, UC Berkeley, UC Irvine, UC Santa Barbara. The postdoctoral fellow will have the opportunity to make extended visits to other collaboration sites, to contribute to joint research activities, and to participate in collaboration workshops and summer schools. We particularly encourage candidates with strong backgrounds in the following areas to apply (all have a focus on methodology developments)
• Quantum many-body approaches for Moire materials
• Driven (time-dependent) quantum systems and Green's function formalism
• Quantum embedding methods
• Quantum algorithms related to scientific computation (fault-tolerant and near-term algorithms)
• Variational quantum Monte Carlo, and quantum control methods with a machine learning focus
The preferred start date is 7/1/2022 or earlier. The initial duration is one year. Upon satisfactory performance evaluations and subject to availability of funds, the position can be renewed for two more years (this is the expected outcome). Applications will be reviewed starting December 1, 2021 and will continue until the position is filled. The salary is competitive. The official posting is currently pending approval. Interested candidates may send the complete CV to linlin@math.berkeley.educontaining "Postdoc position" in the subject for quick assessment. The final applications must be submitted online via AP Recruit.
