Postdoctoral Fellow - Center for Theory of Emergent Quantum Matter (C-TEQ)
About The Position
Penn State's interdisciplinary Center for Theory of Emergent Quantum Matter (C-TEQ), part of the Institute for Computational and Data Sciences (ICDS) Quantum Hub, invites applications for several "C-TEQ Fellow” Postdoctoral Scholar positions. The successful candidates will have expertise in one or more areas related to quantum information science, quantum materials, quantum computation, artificial intelligence and computational approaches to emergent quantum matter, quantum geometry, Majorana modes, the fractional quantum anomalous Hall effect, or closely related fields. C-TEQ Fellows will benefit from a highly collaborative and intellectually stimulating research environment, working alongside fellow postdoctoral scholars and faculty affiliates from Physics, Mathematics, Computer Science and Engineering, Materials Science and Engineering, Electrical Engineering, and Information Sciences and Technology. Fellows will also have access to the advanced computational resources and cyberinfrastructure of the Institute for Computational and Data Sciences (ICDS). This is a term position; length of the term will be discussed during the interview process. Continuation past the term length discussed will be based on university need, performance, and/or availability of funding.
