Researcher in ultrafast quantum entanglement of light and matter

Description of the workplace
Mathematical Physics is a common division between the Natural Science and Engineering (LTH) faculties and is part of the Department of Physics. Research is conducted primarily in the field of quantum mechanical many particle physics, which includes theoretical nuclear structure physics, nanometer physics, quantum information, atomic theory and material modelling, with numerous partnerships both internationally and within Lund University.
Work duties
You will conduct theoretical research on ultrafast quantum entanglement of light and matter. You will be responsible for developing both analytical models and numerical implementations, as well as analyzing the generated data. You will be expected to publish the scientific results obtained and present them at international conferences. You will also be expected to assist with the day-to-day supervision within the research group.
Description of the work duties:
