Job Description
Missions
The successful candidate will carry out theoretical research on transport and dynamics in quantum systems in the presence of disorder, interactions and/or topology, within the framework of the PEPR QUTISYM programme.
A particular focus will be on Anderson localization and its connection to Kardar-Parisi-Zhang (KPZ) physics, with a particular interest in identifying experimentally observable signatures of this connection. Other research directions may also be explored, including the superfluid-to-insulator transition, random quantum circuits, and the effects of quantum measurements.
Activity
-Develop theoretical models and analyses of disordered quantum systems.
-Perform numerical simulations and analytical studies.
-Investigate transport, localization and fluctuation properties of the systems under study.
-Compare theoretical predictions with experimental results in collaboration with partners of the PEPR QUTISYM programme.
-Publish results in international scientific journals and present them at conferences and project meetings.
Your Profil
Skills
-PhD in theoretical physics, quantum physics, statistical physics, condensed matter physics, or a related field.
-Knowledge of quantum mechanics and statistical physics of disordered and/or out-of-equilibrium systems.
-Experience with numerical simulations of quantum systems.
-Autonomy and creativity, with the ability to work collaboratively and an interest in interactions between theory and experiment.
-Experience in Anderson localization, quantum transport, KPZ phenomena, quantum circuits, or open quantum systems would be an advantage.
Your Work Environment
The position is funded within the framework of the PEPR QUTISYM programme and will be based at the Institut de Physique de Nice (INPHYNI, CNRS–Université Côte d'Azur). The successful candidate will join an environment bringing together several theoretical and experimental groups working on quantum transport, disorder, interactions and topology.
The position offers opportunities for collaboration with the various partners of the PEPR and a degree of autonomy in shaping the research project according to the candidate's skills and interests.
Constraints and risks
The work will mainly be carried out using paper, white/blackboards and computers and involves no particular experimental risks. It may require the use of high-performance computing resources and occasional travel for scientific meetings, workshops and conferences.
