Condensed matter theory and holography - Postdoc at Shanghai, Jiao Tong U.

Applications are invited for two 2-year postdoctoral positions, with the possibility of a 2-year extension, in the

Shanghai Center for Complex Physics (SCCP) http://sccp.physics.sjtu.edu.cn/ . The successful candidate will work primarily with Prof. Antonio M. García-García http://www.tcm.phy.cam.ac.uk/~amg73/

Eligibility: Preference will be given to candidates with a background in holographic dualities, and its potential application to condensed matter systems, though other profiles, within the remit of theoretical condensed matter physics, will also be considered. Candidates of all nationalities are welcome to apply.

Application: Applicants should send, in a single PDF file, a resume including list of publications,

earliest date of availability, and a brief statement of research interests to Prof. Antonio M. García García

amgg@sjtu.edu.cn . In addition, the candidate should arrange for two letters of reference to

Shanghai Center for Complex Physics (SCCP), a unit of the School of Physics and Astronomy at

Shanghai Jiao Tong University (http://sccp.physics.sjtu.edu.cn) conducts experimental and theoretical

research at the interface between traditional condensed matter physics and the newer field of

quantum information, including topological quantum computing, unconventional and high-transition

temperature superconductors, topological quantum materials and strongly entangled many-electron

systems. Professor Tony Leggett, 2003 Nobel Prize laureate, is its founding director and Professor Ying Liu

is its executive director. The working language of the Center is English. Several non-Chinese faculty members are currently working at SJTU Physics and Astronomy.
