Post-doc positions
in condensed matter theory
at the University of Cologne


The Institute of Theoretical Physics of the University of Cologne has several openings for post-doctoral fellowships in theoretical condensed matter physics starting August 2009 (or later).

The appointment involves research in the group of Prof. T. Nattermann on the theory of disordered systems, in particular on impure low dimensional conductors, cold atoms, superconductors, and magnets. Theoretical expertise in condensed matter theory is preferred. Further information can be found on our homepage.

The group participates in the activities of the Sonderforschungsbereich 608 "Complex transition metal alloys with spin and charge degrees of freedom and disorder"; for more information see: https://www.sfb608.uni-koeln.de/.

The group has strong scientific relation to a number of groups in the US, France, and Israel.

The research topics of the other groups at the institute are focused on condensed matter physics as well and include mesoscopic physics (A. Altland), statistical and surface physics (J. Krug), quantitative biology (U. Gerland and M. Lässig), solid state theory (A. Rosch and M. Vojta), and mathematical physics (M. Zirnbauer).

Review of applications will begin immediately and will continue until the positions are appointed. Interested applicants should send a curriculum vitae, a list of publications, and three letters of recommendation to
