Postdoctoral Research Fellow

The primary responsibility of the incumbent will be to develop innovative and more accurate methods for characterizing strongly correlated polaritons. Polaritons, described as quantum fluids of light, exhibit unique quantum behavior such as superfluidity, showcasing frictionless, zero-energy-cost flows. The project aims to advance our understanding of polaritons in the strongly interacting regime, particularly far from equilibrium, with the ultimate goal of realizing a superfluid of light at room temperature.
In addition to conducting independent research activities with limited supervision, the Postdoctoral Research Fellow will also be involved in supervising students, preparing research results for publication, and presenting findings at conferences.
Further information about this role can be found in the attached position description.
