About this position
Columbia University’s Department of Physics is recruiting for the 2027 Max Planck Postdoctoral Research Scientist, a postdoctoral research position co-sponsored by the New York Max Planck Center for Nonequilibrium Quantum Physics and a Columbia faculty member.
The appointment is intended for outstanding young scientists with research interests in physics pursued at Columbia. The successful researcher will carry out experimental and/or theoretical work aligned with the scientific objectives of the Max Planck Center and may also contribute to Center-wide activities such as seminars and shared facilities.
The role is embedded in a collaborative environment linking Columbia Physics with the Max Planck Center. Applicants are expected to identify a Columbia Physics faculty member they would like to work with, and the center permits only faculty who are members of the Max Planck Center. The position supports research activity and interaction across the Center’s scientific community.
Appointments may start between May 1, 2027 and September 1, 2027, and are offered for an initial one-year term with the possibility of renewal for up to two additional years, subject to performance and funding.

Applications require a CV, a statement of research interests and experience of up to 3 pages, and three confidential letters of recommendation.
How to apply
Apply through Columbia University’s online Academic Search and Recruitment System (ASR).
