Applications are invited for postdoctoral<\/span> and doctoral<\/span> positions<\/strong> in theoretical physics in the\u00a0Laboratoire de Physique Th\u00e9orique et Mod\u00e8les Statistiques (LPTMS, Orsay – France).<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The positions are funded by the European Research Council (ERC) within the project LoCoMacro (Local Control of Macroscopic Properties in Isolated Many-body Quantum Systems), presented by Maurizio Fagotti in the 2018 call for ERC starting grants.<\/p>\n

The research project is focused on\u00a0the study of the effects of inhomogeneities in out-of-equilibrium systems following a so-called global quench. This is the nonequilibrium time evolution of states with energy extensively higher than the ground state one, for which time evolution generally results in an emergent statistical description. A distinctive feature of LoCoMacro is the interest\u00a0in the global effects of inhomogeneities localized in a small part of the system. The project covers both exactly solvable models, which are primarily attacked with analytical methods, and generic systems, for which numerical investigations are more suitable.\u00a0The group of research will have heterogeneous skills, and knowledge exchange will be a key aspect of the activity.<\/p>\n

The successful candidates will work with Maurizio Fagotti and will benefit from the stimulating research environment of\u00a0LPTMS<\/a>, which is a young theoretical physics laboratory, markedly oriented towards statistical physics. Being a\u00a0joint research unit between CNRS and Paris-Sud University, the laboratory has access to\u00a0computing facilities such us the\u00a0Paris-Sud \u201ccomputing mesocenter\u201d, and, for large scale computations, \u00a0national facilities such as IDRIS.<\/span>
\n<\/span>Paris-Sud University is internationally recognised for the quality of fundamental research (mathematics, physics); in 2020, Paris-Saclay University rose to 9th place in the world in the Shanghai ranking 2020<\/a> of the world universities in the subject of Physics.<\/p>\n

The candidates should\u00a0be interested in the physics of low-dimensional systems out of equilibrium, and they should have a good knowledge of quantum mechanics and theoretical physics.<\/p>\n
