Job description:

The team of Prof Loh Kian Ping invites applications for a Research Fellow position, working in the area of theory and computational methods of condensed matter physics.

The candidate should have experience working in theoretical condensed matter physics, with a focus on moire quantum materials, particularly twisted bilayer graphene and related van der Waals heterostructures. The job responsibilities include developing methods to study how twist angle, strain, pressure, electric field, and magnetic field modify flat band formation, electronic localization, Landau levels, Hofstadter spectra, and quantum Hall response. The candidate must be adept at using real space tight binding, continuum model approaches, and numerical simulations to understand geometry driven electronic and magnetic phenomena in two dimensional moire systems.

Qualification and Requirements:

• The candidate should have a PhD degree from a reputable university or institute
• The candidate should have a strong track record in the theory of condensed matter physics of 2D materials, as well as in tight binding and computational approaches
• system.

An attractive remuneration package will be offered for suitable candidate with a strong publication record in 2-D condensed matter physics.
