Ciarán Hickey

This postdoctoral appointment is based in the School of Physics at University College Dublin and is hosted in the research group of Asst. Prof. Ciarán Hickey . The project sits at the intersection of quantum many-body physics, condensed matter theory, and computational research. The group explores the interplay between topology, entanglement, and dynamics in correlated quantum systems. The advertised research will focus on frustrated magnetism , quantum spin liquids , non-linear response , and correlated multi-orbital systems . The position specifically involves investigating non-linear response in quantum magnets, while also allowing scope to pursue related directions aligned with the successful candidate’s interests. The work is described as primarily computational, supported by analytical tools, offering a multi-faceted perspective on emergent phenomena in strongly correlated systems. The group webpage is provided for further information on the research environment and publications. The role is a temporary post-doctoral research fellow appointment within UCD Physics, with a duration extending to June 30, 2029.
