About this position
The Department of Physics at Wake Forest University is seeking a postdoctoral researcher in quantum matter to join Emilie Huffman’s group. The project focuses on classical and quantum-computational simulations of quantum many-body physics systems, giving the scholar the chance to contribute to research at the interface of numerical and analytical approaches.
The successful candidate will work closely in the Huffman group and will also have the opportunity to mentor students. The advert highlights a research environment centered on strongly correlated many-body systems and encourages applicants with experience across a range of methods, including quantum Monte Carlo, exact diagonalization, tensor networks, renormalization group techniques, conformal bootstrap, and machine-learning approaches for many-body physics.
Wake Forest University presents the position within a broader research setting in the Department of Physics, with the project rooted in a group page provided by the department and a focus on high-level computational and theoretical work in contemporary condensed matter and related areas.
