Postdoc position in non-equilibrium quantum many body physics — NEUQUAM (J. Marino’s group) / SUNY at Buffalo, USA
We are scouting strongly motivated scholars to join the NEUQUAM team led by Dr.
J. Marino at SUNY Buffalo in the USA.
Our research team investigates quantum phenomena that can endure at long times
and over large distances in many-body systems — whether isolated or subject to
driven–dissipative conditions. We focus on identifying those emergent phases of
matter that demand a truly quantum description, beyond any classical surrogate,
or phenomenological description. Applications are cross-disciplinary and they
encompass strongly correlated light-matter platforms, the modeling of quantum
materials under far-from-equilibrium conditions, and many body quantum
information science that have prospects for advantage over classical computation.
Techniques employed span over non-equilibrium field theory, semi-classical
methods in quantum many body dynamics, tensor networks and GPU-accelerated
quantum evolution. Our work is concept- rather than method-centric. Candidates
with backgrounds or skillsets different than those traditionally developed in our
team are welcome to apply.
Our research work is in synergy with several international teams located in Europe
(Germany, Switzerland, Austria, Italy, Spain) and in the US. In particular, we are
engaged in a scientific exchange with the ICTP-SAIFR in São Paulo (Brazil),
through the organization of schools and workshops, as well as scientific
collaborations.

Our team is located in the city of Buffalo, in Western New York — a region
celebrated for its historical architecture, fine cuisine, and breathtaking natural
landmarks, including Niagara Falls and the Great Lakes. While Buffalo is known for
its snowy winters, the pleasant weather in summer and fall months transform the
area into a scenic beauty with colorful landscapes.
Interested scholars should send the following material:
1) curriculum vitae, including list of publications;
2) names and e-mail contacts of two senior scientists (please, do not ask to send
recommendation letters at this time);
to the email address neuquam@gmail.com preferably by June 30th, 2026.
Applications will be reviewed on a rolling basis, and candidates will be considered
and interviewed dynamically before submission deadline. Review may continue
after submission deadline until suitable candidates receive and accept an offer.
Starting date is very flexible and it can be tailored to applicants’ needs.
