Department of Physics studentship in "Simulations for Correlated Materials"

A fully funded PhD studentship in Condensed Matter Theory with focus on correlated materials at King's College London, supervised by Jan Tomczak and co-supervised by Georg Rohringer. The PhD project deals with phase transitions in correlated models and materials, focusing on the interplay of correlations and disorder towards the emergence of long-range orders such as magnetism and superconductivity. The research involves predictive description of doped correlated materials, requiring treatment of electron-electron many-body scattering and scattering from disorder. Key techniques include Matsubara Green's functions, linear response, dynamical mean-field theory, tight-binding Hamiltonians and/or density functional theory. The successful candidate will join the Theory and Simulations of Condensed Matter Group at King's, which has broad research interests in many-body theory, quantum-field theory, ab initio electronic structure approaches, transport simulations, dynamical mean-field theory, and quantum chemistry approaches.
