Applications are invited for a postdoctoral research position in extreme condensed matter physics, mainly focused on superconductivity at high pressures. Applicants doing research in theoretical and/or computational materials science, especially in superconducting materials, are strongly encouraged to apply. Research areas that complement existing strengths at the University of Rochester include modeling and design of quantum materials such as high-temperature superconductors; predicting the interplay among temperature, pressure, and stability. Evaluation of applications will begin immediately and continue until the position is filled. The start date is flexible, but preferably before July 2022. The position is for one year, renewable up to three years subject to funding availability and satisfactory performance. Salary and benefits are competitive and will be commensurate with qualifications and experience. More details can be found by contacting Prof. Ranga Dias at rdias@rochester.edu. Applications should be emailed as a single pdf file to rdias@rochester.edu and must include (i) a brief letter (max 2 pages) describing the candidate’s academic background and interests (ii) CV, (iii) a research statement (max 4 pages with reference), and (iv) arrange three letters of reference directly emailed to rdias@rochester.edu.
