Description of the workplace
The position is located at the Division of Mathematical Physics, which is a common division between both the Natural Science and Engineering (LTH) faculty, and it is part of the Department of Physics. Presently, the Division of Mathematical Physics hosts five full professors and six lecturers. Research is conducted primarily in the field of quantum mechanical many-particle physics. Specifically, the research areas at the Division include ultra-cold atomic quantum gases, theoretical nuclear structure physics, nanostructure physics, quantum information theory, atomic theory and materials modelling. The division has numerous collaborations both internationally and within Lund University. The team where this position is located was recently associated with the Wallenberg Centre for Quantum Technology (WACQT) and is part of the strategic research priority areas of NanoLund as well as Light and Materials at Lund University.
The work will specifically be carried out in the cold atoms theory group led by Professor Stephanie M. Reimann, which belongs to the Faculty of Engineering (LTH) and is located at the Department of Mathematical Physics. Synergistic effects through our existing collaboration networks, both nationally and internationally, create a strong connection between experimental and theoretical work on ultracold atomic quantum systems. This position is supported by funding from the Knut & Alice Wallenberg Foundation.
We offer
Lund University is a public authority which means that employees get particular benefits, generous annual leave and an advantageous occupational pension scheme.

Work duties
The main tasks in this research position involve conducting research, with an emphasis on numerical modeling and theoretical analysis of quantum many-body systems. Specifically, the applicant will perform model simulations on the exact solutions of Schrödingers equation for few-body quantum systems, which will require advanced programming and code development in leading programming languages. Analytical work will guide the numerical methods.
Central to the work will be the further development of new theoretical concepts for the description of ultracold atomic systems, focusing on the configuration interaction methods, many-body perturbationn theory and effective interaction methods. A primary goal of the planned research work is the further development of existing codework to improve convergence methods and regularization schemes.
