Dr. Ceren B. Dag invites applications for a postdoctoral fellow to support theoretically developing a new quantum sensing platform for probing correlated phases of matter at the atomic scale. The postdoctoral researcher will lead the theory component of a research program, developing microscopic models of impurity-host coupling and identifying optical signatures of correlated and topological phases. This position offers an opportunity for multi-institutional collaboration with experimentalists in condensed matter (material growth) and AMO (optical spectroscopy). See below for information regarding the position requirements. The appointment could begin as early as February 1, 2026, and is initially for one year, with the possibility of renewal for an additional 1 or 2 years based on performance.
Please submit your CV, research statement (max 2 pages) and contact information for 3 references (full name, their email, context and duration in which they know you) to cbdag@iu.edu. Please specify your preferred starting date in your research statement.
Review of applications will begin on January 2nd and will continue until the position is filled. Questions about the position and more information regarding the specifics of the project can be emailed to cbdag@iu.edu
