Start Date : Winter / Spring 2026, with earlier start dates strongly preferred
Duration : Initial appointment is for 1 year, with extensions (up to a total of 3 years) contingent upon performance
Announcement
We are inviting applications for up to two Postdoctoral Researcher positions in theoretical quantum condensed matter physics.
About
Episteme is a new type of R&D company based in San Francisco. We identify, hire, and bring together exceptional scientific researchers across disciplines and geographies-especially individuals who want to pursue difficult and important problems that do not fit into the purview of traditional institutions. Our aim is to create a new path separate from academia, industry, and government for enabling, translating, and commercializing science into tangible impact.
Overview
As a Postdoctoral Researcher, you will work closely with other group members and external collaborators on problems in strongly correlated electronic systems and quantum materials, largely employing computational techniques. You will conduct original and ambitious theoretical and computational research on high-impact problems and disseminate the results through scientific publications and talks. This role is ideal for individuals eager to work on fundamental questions while also contributing to real-world applications.
Research Focus Areas
- Emergent phenomena in strongly correlated electronic systems
- High-temperature superconductivity, quantum phase transitions, strong disorder effects
- Advanced computational many-body techniques, including methods development (e.g. quantum Monte Carlo, neural quantum states, tensor networks, machine learning and data science, dynamical mean field theory, diagrammatic Monte Carlo, etc.)
Key Responsibilities
