Horizon Europe (other) Is the Job related to staff position within a Research Infrastructure? NoOffer DescriptionWe invite applications for a postdoctoral position in theoretical condensed matter physics within2DQUEST — Quantum Engineering in Superconducting Graphene for Topological Qubits, a QuantERA 2025 project. The successful candidate will join the Madrid team led by Tobias Stauber, collaborating with theoretical and experimental groups at Chalmers University of Technology and the universities of Göttingen and Regensburg.Research projectThe project explores topological superconductivity and Majorana modes in graphene through proximity effects and intrinsic, interaction-driven superconductivity in rhombohedral multilayers. The Madrid postdoc will develop many-body models of correlated and superconducting phases, contribute to the FORGE framework for large-scale simulations of graphene nanoribbons and junctions, and investigate quantum transport in close dialogue with experimental partners.Relevant approaches include self-consistent Hartree–Fock theory, renormalization‑group analysis and Green’s‑function methods. The position offers opportunities to develop independent research within the project, publish results,



participate in scientific meetings and undertake research visits, with access to advanced computational resources.Research environmentThe Quantum Advanced Research Center (QuARC-CSIC), currently organised as a virtual institute. Research will initially be based at the Instituto de Ciencia de Materiales de Madrid (ICMM-CSIC), Cantoblanco, one of CSIC’s largest research centres. ICMM provides an established environment in materials science and condensed matter physics. QuARC’s growing community, with strong activity in quantum optics, offers complementary opportunities for exchange across quantum technologies, alongside our group’s focus on quantum materials and superconductivity.RequirementsResearch Field Physics Education Level PhD or equivalentSkills/QualificationsApplicants should hold a PhD in physics or a related discipline by the starting date, with a strong background in theoretical condensed matter physics and scientific programming.Specific RequirementsExperience in superconductivity, interacting electron systems, topological phases, two-dimensional materials or quantum transport would be valuable. We welcome complementary methodological expertise.Languages ENGLISH Level GoodResearch Field PhysicsAdditional InformationEligibility criteriaPhD in physicsAdditional commentsICMM is deeply commited to preserving equal opportunities and inclusiveness, a philosophy that our group fully supports.Motivation letter for this doctoral position (maximum one A4 page)Work Location(s)Number of offers available 1 Company/Institute Instituto de Ciencia de Materiales de Madrid (ICMM-CSIC) Country Spain State/Province Madrid City Madrid Postal Code 28049 Street c/Sor Juana Inés de la Cruz 3 Geofield#J-18808-Ljbffr
