We are seeking highly motivated researchers at all career stages, including postdocs, PhD/Master's students, undergraduates and visiting students/researchers. We are open to people with a variety of backgrounds, but they should have solid training in theoretical/computational condensed matter physics/chemistry and/or proven experience in many-body theory. Programming skills are a definite plus. We particularly welcome female applicants and those from an ethnic minority, as they are underrepresented in physics.
