The Condensed-Matter Physics Laboratory

The Condensed-Matter Physics Laboratory, HSE, Moscow, Russia invites applications for postdoctoral research positions in the field of condensed-matter physics.

The job involves:

• joining one of the research groups in the laboratory
• the researcher is encouraged to pursue their own research in parallel with working on a research project of the Laboratory in the following areas:

o  condensed-matter theory

o  experimental low-temperature physics and nanophysics

o  hydrodynamics and theory of turbulence

• writing research papers for international peer-reviewed journals
• participation in organization of the events and other contributions to the lab’s development
• public presentations of candidate’s own research to the researchers in the field and the broader academic community
• some teaching is encouraged, though not required.

Requirements:

• a PhD degree (or equivalent, incl. Candidate of Sciences degree) in physics from a research university, normally within the last 5 years
• established research record in condensed-matter physics
• for experimentalists experience in the following areas is desirable: ARPES, nanofabrication, low and ultra-low temperatures, graphene, topological insulators, RF-measurements; contact us for more information
• fluent English

General conditions for Post-Doctoral Research positions can be found here. The appointment is normally made for one year starting in September 2019 with the possibility of extension.

 A CV and research statement with a publication list should be submitted via online application form and  two letters of recommendation should be submitted by the referees directly to fellowship@hse.ru by  February 15, 2019.  Please, note that direct applications to the hiring laboratory may not be reviewed.

Condensed-Matter Physics laboratory was established in 2016 and is conducting research in theoretical and experimental condensed-matter physics in close collaboration with researchers from such academic institutions as the Landau Institute for theoretical physics, Kapitza Institute for physical problems, Institute for solid-state physics, Institute of spectroscopy, Lebedev Physical Institute.
