Yale-NUS College and the Centre for Advanced 2D Materials at the National University of Singapore is recruiting several Postdoctoral Fellowship and Research Assistants for the funded projects listed below. NUS is accepting applications for the postdoctoral positions internationally from candidates who have a Ph.D. in either theoretical or computational condensed matter physics, or a closely related field.

The Postdoctoral Fellowship position at the National University of Singapore offers globally competitive salaries and benefits commensurate with experience. Candidates for the Research Assistant positions must have a B.Sc. in physics and should either be a resident of Singapore or have a degree from a Singapore-based institute of higher learning. Start dates are flexible. For candidates currently in Singapore, the position could start immediately, while for candidates outside of Singapore, we anticipate a start date no earlier than October 2020 (due to COVID19-related travel restrictions currently in place).

Funded Projects

• Properties of twisted moiré van der Waals heterostructures (with Shaffique Adam). Theoretical or computational expertise in either superconductivity (conventional or unconventional) or experience calculating the electronic properties of twisted 2D materials (e.g. continuum model, DFT, Hartree-Fock) is strongly preferred.
• Many-body localization (with Pinaki Sengupta [NTU], Shaffique Adam and opportunities to collaborate with Fakher Assaad [Würzburg]). Theoretical expertise in diagrammatic perturbation and/or renormalization group analysis or computational expertise in quantum Monte Carlo simulations is strongly preferred.
• Electron hydrodynamics (with Shafique Adam, and opportunities to collaborate with Giovanni Vignale [Missouri] and Oleg Sushkov [UNSW]). Expertise in hydrodynamics or diagrammatic perturbation theory is strongly preferred.
• Simulation of fermions trapped in optical lattices (with Kai Dieckmann and Shaffique Adam). Computational expertise in lattice models is strongly preferred.

Qualifications

Candidates for this Postdoctoral Fellowship at the National University of Singapore will have the following qualifications

• Ph.D. in either theoretical or computational condensed matter physics, or a closely related field for postdoctoral positions.
• B.Sc. in physics and should either be a resident of Singapore or have a degree from a Singapore-based institute of higher learning for research assistant positions.

National University of Singapore

The National University of Singapore is the first autonomous research university in Singapore. It is also the oldest higher education institution in Singapore. It offers a wide range of disciplines, including the sciences, medicine and dentistry, design and environment, law, arts, and social sciences, engineering, business, computing, and music in both undergraduate and postgraduate levels. NUS ranks 1st in Singapore & the Asia Pacific, and 22nd in the world according to the 2018 Times Higher Education World University Rankings. Similarly, 11th in the world according to the 2019 QS World University Rankings.
