Annica Black-Schaffer

This postdoctoral project is based in the Quantum Matter Theory research program at the Department of Physics and Astronomy, Uppsala University. The work sits within a broad condensed-matter theory environment spanning unconventional superconductivity, topological matter, non-equilibrium phenomena in nanosystems, strongly correlated systems, and quantum information. The project will be carried out in the research group of Prof. Annica Black-Schaffer , a group of around 15 Ph.D. students and postdocs. The advertised research focuses on the theory of quantum condensed matter, with the specific project combining unconventional superconductivity and quantum geometry . The postdoc will engage in both numerical simulations and analytical work, contributing independently and in collaboration with group members and external collaborators. The department is located in the Ångström laboratory and offers a large physics research and teaching environment, with access to a wide range of topics and active national and international research activity.

Uppsala University is advertising a postdoctoral position in quantum matter theory in the Department of Physics and Astronomy, Sweden. The project is hosted in the research group of Professor Annica Black-Schaffer and focuses on quantum condensed matter physics , including correlated and topological phases of matter , superconductivity , multilayer graphene systems , and other flat-band quantum materials . The successful candidate will work on both numerical simulations and analytical theory , contributing to research on strongly correlated systems, unconventional superconductivity, topological matter, and related quantum materials problems. The group is described as an international research environment with a broad physics context at Uppsala University. Eligibility highlights: applicants must hold a PhD in physics or an equivalent degree by the time of the employment decision. Candidates who earned their PhD within the last three years are primarily considered, though exceptions may apply for special circumstances. A strong background in strongly correlated and topological phases, including superconductivity, and fluency in written and spoken English are required. Experience with analytical and numerical methods is advantageous, as is prior work on multilayer graphene or other flat-band systems. Employment details: the position is a temporary full-time postdoc for 2 years with the possibility of a 1-year extension . The starting date is listed as 2026-10-01 or by agreement. No scholarship is mentioned; this is a salaried employment position. Application window: the last application date is 2026-07-31 . Applicants should submit their materials through Uppsala University's recruitment system and include a CV, publication list, and research statement. The recruitment notice also states that application questions replace the cover letter.
