About this position

A postdoctoral research fellow position is available in the Quantum Matter Institute at the University of British Columbia, working with Prof. Max McGinley and Prof. Carolyn Zhang in the Department of Physics and Astronomy.

The project is theoretical and sits at the interface of condensed matter theory and quantum information science. The research scope includes topological phases and error correction, algorithms for quantum simulation, mixed-state phases of matter, quantum complexity, and many-body quantum dynamics. The exact direction is flexible and can be guided by the successful candidate’s interests and expertise.

The fellow will join a collaborative research environment at UBC’s Vancouver campus, with opportunities to work alongside postdocs, students, and other researchers in the Quantum Matter Institute. The institute connects across physics, chemistry, and electrical and computer engineering, offering a broad and active setting for research in quantum matter and quantum theory.

The position also allows room for independent research projects in parallel with the main fellowship work.

Funding details

Postdoctoral appointment for 3 years with salary of $70,000 per year, plus benefits package including extended health and dental plan; travel funds available for conferences and workshops.

What's required
