The campus is located in Bellingham, Washington, a coastal community of 90,000 overlooking Bellingham Bay, the San Juan Islands and the North Cascades Mountain range. The city lies 90 miles north of Seattle and 60 miles south of Vancouver, British Columbia. Western is the highest-ranking public, master's-granting university in the Pacific Northwest, according to the 2022 U.S. News & World Report rankings.

    Western Washington University is committed to achieving excellence through advancing inclusive success, increasing our Washington impact, and focusing on transformational education grounded in the liberal arts and sciences and based on innovative scholarship, research, and creative activity. Western's greatest strength is the outstanding students, faculty, staff, and alumni/ae who make up its community. Western supports an inclusive governance structure for all and provides a learning and working environment in which everyone can thrive. In pursuit of this excellence, individual employees are expected to establish and maintain productive and effective inclusive working relationships amongst diverse populations including staff, faculty, administration, student, and external constituents.

    About the Department

    The Department of Physics and Astronomy is comprised of 16 full-time faculty and 73 undergraduate physics majors. Physics B.S. and Math/Physics B.A.Ed. degrees are offered in addition to minor degrees in both physics and astronomy. In recent years, the department has placed increased emphasis on providing meaningful research opportunities for its majors, including hiring new tenure-track faculty committed to undergraduate research. Members of the department are also active in the development of new educational materials and innovative teaching methods. The common vision shared within the department is to make the WWU Department of Physics and Astronomy the most outstanding undergraduate program of its kind in the nation.

    The department and college are committed to creating equitable and inclusive learning and working environments for their students, faculty and staff. A number of faculty-led initiatives and committees focus on diversity and inclusivity in the classroom and beyond. New faculty are supported by mentoring both within the department and through university-wide initiatives, and individual faculty involvement in the Faculty Success Program has recently been supported by our department. Student clubs such as SACNAS, Physicists for Inclusion in STEM (PhIS), and Out in Science are also vital to advancing inclusion within the college.

    About the Position

    The position is for a postdoctoral research associate in theoretical and computational condensed matter physics anticipated to begin in Winter 2024.

    The postdoc will assist Dr. Armin Rahmani from WWU and Dr. Jian-Xin Zhu from Los Alamos National Laboratory with analytical studies and numerical simulations of interacting Majorana fermions. They will also work on writing manuscripts to disseminate the results. The areas of interest are investigations of interactions between vortex-bound Majorana zero modes arising in vortex lattices in topological materials, phase diagrams of various lattice models with Majorana building blocks, associated studies of the nonequilibrium dynamics of these models, transport signatures of quantum impurity problems involving Majorana zero modes, and the simulation of interacting Majoranas on quantum devices. The research will utilize theories of superconductivity and strong correlations, numerical methods such as the density-matrix renormalization group (DMRG) and fermionic neural-network variational methods, quantum simulations on quantum processors such as IBM Q, and field theory techniques including bosonization and conformal field theory.

    This is a 2 year position, with possible extension to a third year depending on performance and funds availability.

    Duties will include:

    • Perform simulations of interacting Majorana models
    • Perform analytical investigations and modeling of interacting Majorana fermions
    • Contribute to writing manuscripts to disseminate the results

    Required Qualifications
    • Ph. D. in physics or closely related fields.
    • Strong record of peer-reviewed publications.
    • Research experience in theoretical or computational quantum condensed matter physics
    • Excellent numerical and computational skills.
    • Familiarity with strongly correlated electrons and topological phases.
    • Good communication skills.

    Preferred Qualifications
    • Demonstrated commitment to cultivating equitable and inclusive learning and working environments for students, faculty, and staff.
    • Experience with nonequilibrium quantum dynamics.
    • Experience with DMRG computations.
    • Familiarity with quantum-computing devices such as IBM-Q.

    Conditions of Employment
    All employees must comply with our Immunization policies, including Proof of Rubeola Measles Immunity within 60-days of hire. Please reach out to HR@wwu.edu if you need information regarding medical or religious exemption and applicable accommodations.

    Salary


    Position salary is $58,000. Salary increases will be provided in accordance with the collective bargaining agreement, including a 4.5% increase effective September 16, 2024.
