We have an immediate opening for a postdoctoral researcher in

Theoretical Condensed Matter Physics at the Nanynag Technological

University in Singapore. The successful candidate will be expected to

work on frustrated quantum magnetism, specifically, on the investigation

of the (generalised) Shastry-Sutherland model using computational

and /or analytical approaches and its application to understanding the

properties of the rare-earth tetraborides. These will include the study of

both magnetic and transport properties. (S)he will have the opportunity

to collaborate extensively with  experimental efforts on these compounds

being pursued at NTU and our collaborators in Europe and USA.  There

will also be ample scope to pursue independent  research. A Ph.D. in Physics

or related field, familiarity with the theory of frustrated quantum magnetism

are required.


           To apply, the applicant should send his/her CV and a brief description

of  current research projects and interests  via e-mail to:


psengupta@ntu.edu.sg<mailto:psengupta@ntu.edu.sg>

or christos@ntu.edu.sg<mailto:christos@ntu.edu.sg>  


and have three letters of  recommendation sent directly to the same address. Salary will be commensurate with experience. Benefits include medical insurance, partial relocation assistance and performance based bonus. The position will initially be for one year and renewable for one more year based on availability of funding.  We are hoping for a joining
