Quantum Materials Postdoctoral Fellowships (12-month period 2026-2027)
Apply for Postdoctoral Fellowship Award here (Deadline: June 30, 2025).
These are postdoctoral stipends of up to $40,000 each. These awards are designed to complement existing postdoctoral support, providing travel stipends for a joint research project between two different network institutions (the "home" and the "host") of the QMAC. The award will be provided directly to the postdoc as a stipend. The postdoctoral fellow will be expected to spend at least three months carrying out research at the host institution, away from their home institution. One of the institutions must be in the USA. The home and host institution are responsible for all salary and benefits. Stipend rules are still being worked out in consultation with the NSF. Stipend amount will depend on time spent away from the home institution. Some funds may be available for research materials and supplies. Applications from two-career partners are welcome.

We are seeking a postdoctoral researcher for a 1-year position, renewable for a second year based on performance. The work will primarily take place at CEA Saclay, France, in the SPEC and LLB laboratories, with occasional travel to the University of Rouen (project partner). The start date is flexible between March and June 2025. Key questions we address on glass physics include: - Is glass a true phase of matter or simply a viscous liquid out of equilibrium? and - Why do macroscopically brittle glasses become ductile at the nanoscale? Our project explores these questions by varying molecular size (polymer chain length) and ultra-fast thermal quenching rate with new set-ups to develop. This is an exciting opportunity to explore fundamental questions in glass physics using cutting-edge techniques in a collaborative research environment. Candidates should send CV, letter of motivation and academic credentials as soon as possible and not later than end of February, 2025 to

From Sanna Hui
The University of Michigan seeks applications and nominations of accomplished physicists interested in and capable of leading the physics department.
The successful candidate will be appointed a tenured professor of physics and serve an initial five-year term as chair. I appreciate you taking a moment to consider this exciting leadership opportunity for yourself or a talented individual in your network.
Reporting to the associate dean of natural sciences in the College of Literature, Science, and the Arts, the department chair is responsible for leading the faculty in carrying out the shared mission of the college and the unit through teaching, scholarly work, leadership, governance, and professional activities. As chair, this position supervises professional staff and oversees an operating budget of more than $17 million with the support of a chief administrator. This is an in-person role, and the anticipated start date is July 1, 2025.
Candidates are expected to have outstanding research, teaching, and service records that merit an appointment as a tenured professor of physics. In addition, the department seeks candidates capable of leading a large, diverse department with more than $20 million in sponsored research funds. Candidates must demonstrate outstanding communication and interpersonal skills, an understanding of shared governance and university workings and policies, and the capacity and vision to foster first-rate physics research and teaching.

Postdoctoral Research Associate in Theoretical and Computational Systems Biology at Michigan State University, US
Postdoctoral Research Associate positions are available for an interdisciplinary project focused on developing data-driven mathematical models for cell differentiation. This project involves applying concepts and techniques from theoretical and statistical physics to biomedical and systems biology problems. The primary objective is to use the Hopfield model to develop mathematical frameworks that enhance understanding and control of cell differentiation processes. This involves integrating single-cell transcriptomics data to simulate gene network dynamics and the effects of various perturbations. Applications should be uploaded to the website careers.msu.edu using posting number 968184. Review of applications will begin on September 15th, 2024, and will continue until the position is filled. Inquiries can be directed to the PI of the project, Prof. Carlo Piermarocchi, at
