About the Role
For informal enquiries, please contact Professor Mark Newton (Head of Department) at Physics.head@warwick.ac.uk.
The Department of Physics at the University of Warwick is looking to recruit an exceptional individual to contribute to the research and educational goals of its Theoretical Physics Cluster and to play an active role in the EPSRC Centre for Doctoral Training in Modelling of Heterogeneous Systems (HetSys CDT).
The Theoretical Physics Cluster has three broad areas of activity: (i) Computational materials modelling – designing synthesis routes for molecules, materials, and nanostructures purely in-silico and describing physical properties predictively from first principles for direct comparison with experiment; (ii) Many body quantum theory and statistical mechanics - providing new insight into many-body quantum phenomena, open quantum dynamics and quantum information science and (iii) Active matter and biophysics - providing physics-based understanding of non-equilibrium systems, active materials, leading to biological systems.
There are strong links and overlap among the three areas. We collaborate extensively with experimental groups and have major roles in postgraduate training and interdisciplinary activities. The Cluster plays an important role in the Department’s delivery of its thriving joint Mathematics and Physics undergraduate degree course.
The HetSys CDT is built around a closely knit, highly collaborative team of academics, including members of the Theoretical Physics Cluster, from five science departments at Warwick and trains people to challenge current state-of-the-art in computational modelling of heterogeneous, ‘real world’ systems across a range of research themes such as strongly correlated materials for quantum devices, magnetic materials for clean energy applications, alloys for fusion applications and biomolecules for fighting antibiotic resistance. The scientific research computing community at Warwick links expertise in multiscale modelling and uncertainty quantification with the development of advanced scientific computing paradigms.
We will consider applications for employment on a part-time or other flexible working basis, even where a position is advertised as full-time, unless there are operational or other objective reasons why it is not possible to do so.
