Position Description

The Condensed Matter Division at the Tsung-Dao Lee Institute (TDLI), Shanghai Jiao Tong University, invites applications for a joint postdoctoral research position. Successful candidates will collaborate with Prof. Xin Liu and Prof. Xi Dai (T. D. Lee Chair Professor, adjunct from HKUST). This position focuses on a theoretical and computational studies of condensed matter physics, with emphasis on the following frontier topics:

- Topological quantum matter, non-Abelian anyons and topological quantum computing.

- Correlated phenomena and quantum geometry effects in moiré superlattices and flat-band systems.

- Transport phenomena in superconducting and electronic quantum devices.

- Microscopic mechanisms of high-temperature superconductors and their topological properties. 

Terms of employment

The position is for a full-time employment for an initial appointment for 2 years, extendable to 3 years based on performance. Start date is as per agreement. We offer a competitive annual salary of minimal 312,000 CNY (≈43,000 USD) plus a 15,000 CNY (≈2,150 USD) settlement allowance.
