About this position
The University of Texas Rio Grande Valley is seeking a Postdoctoral Fellow in Theoretical AMO and Condensed Matter Physics. The position supports specialized theoretical research in Atomic, Molecular, and Optical (AMO) physics and condensed matter physics, contributing to the institution’s educational and research mission.
The primary research focus is the quantum optics of correlated electronic systems, with opportunities to explore related areas including quantum optics, quantum materials, superconductivity, and interdisciplinary quantum science. The postdoctoral researcher will have scope to develop independent research directions while collaborating with experimental research groups in condensed matter physics.
Work will involve conducting theoretical research, developing analytical and computational models of quantum systems, and performing numerical simulations relevant to experimentally realizable systems. The researcher will also analyze and interpret theoretical and experimental results, prepare manuscripts for peer-reviewed journals, present findings at scientific conferences and meetings, and contribute to research proposals, progress reports, and other research documentation.
The role provides an opportunity to work across theoretical AMO physics, condensed matter physics, quantum optics, and quantum materials in collaboration with both experimental and theoretical research groups.
