Emanuel Gull

As of summer 2025, the Gull group will have openings at the Physics Department of the University of Warsaw as a part of the ERC Advanced grant Quantum Algorithms. Openings are available for postdocs, PhD students, and master students on research topics in condensed matter theory and high-performance computing, including the development of field-theoretic methods for realistic correlated electron systems and their application to systems of interest. A wide range of topics is available. Previous work (see below) provides a general overview of the research areas. The Gull group will maintain an affiliation with the University of Michigan.

Available positions

Postdoc positions

Postdocs are required to have a PhD at the time of their employment. Areas include computational and/or analytical condensed matter theory, applied mathematics, quantum chemistry, and/or high-performance computing. Experience with modern analytic or numerical methods in quantum theory is desired. Experience with numerical methods in physics and a solid foundation in code development is especially welcome.

Interested parties should contact emanuel.gull@gmail.com for information.

To apply, send your application including a cover letter, curriculum vitae, list of publications, statement of re​‐ search interests, and the three most rele​vant publi​cations in a single PDF file. Please also have two reference letters sent to this email.

For full consideration please ensure that all materials are submitted by March 25, 2025. Evaluations will continue on a rolling basis until all positions are filled.

PhD positions
