Joachim Brand

Two-year postdoctoral opportunity in theoretical and computational condensed-matter physics at Massey University in Auckland, New Zealand. The project focuses on odd-frequency superfluidity , a challenging topic in quantum many-body physics, with emphasis on developing and studying models that may be relevant to ultracold atoms . The successful candidate will work with Professor Joachim Brand and an international team of collaborators. The research will use quantum Monte Carlo , effective field theories , and other theoretical/numerical methods, and will contribute to the open-source codebase Rimu.jl . There is also an opportunity to help supervise a PhD student funded through the same project. This is a full-time fixed-term postdoctoral role based at Massey’s Auckland campus and linked to the Te Whai Ao – Dodd-Walls Centre for Photonics and Quantum Technology . The position is funded by the Marsden Fund of New Zealand . Salary is listed at NZ$86,113–NZ$89,088 depending on experience, with additional benefits including employer superannuation contribution, extra university holidays, and subsidised healthcare. Eligibility highlights include a PhD in theoretical or computational condensed-matter physics or a related field , publications in high-quality peer-reviewed journals, and strong experience in quantum many-body theory , ultracold atomic gases , quantum Monte Carlo , scientific coding, and high-performance computing. Experience with Julia is preferred. The application deadline is 2026-06-02 . Applicants should use the Massey University recruitment portal to apply.
