Postdoctoral Position in Condensed Matter Theory 

Prof. Santos’ group at Emory University invites applications for a postdoctoral researcher to explore NSF and DOE projects on hybrid light-matter systems, quantum entanglement, and emergent phenomena in quantum materials. We especially encourage candidates with expertise in condensed matter theory, quantum optics, or quantum information science.

The position involves analytical modeling, numerical simulations, and collaborative projects with theorists and experimentalists. We offer a competitive salary, benefits, travel support for conferences, and nomination for qualifiedfellowships for exceptional candidates.

Qualifications: PhD in Physics or related field; strong background in condensed matter theory or quantum optics; computational experience a plus; excellent communication and teamwork skills.

Apply: Candidates should send CV including a list of publications to luiz.santos@emory.edu with the subject: “Postdoc Application in Condensed Matter Theory.” Candidates should also arrange for three letters of recommendation to be sent to luiz.santos@emory.edu under the same subject title. Applications will be considered on a rolling basis until the position is filled.

Tarbutton Postdoctoral Fellowship: Interested candidates are also encouraged to apply to the Tarbutton Postdoctoral Fellowhip at Emory through this link. Review of applications will begin on December 1, 2025 and continue until the positions are filled.
