Statistical and Condensed-Matter Physics Specialist
Job Description
Solve and review advanced statistical-physics and topological-model problems.
What you will do
• Analyze replicated random-bond Ising/Ashkin–Teller systems, toric-code thresholds and the Nishimori line.
• Explain Kramers–Wannier duality, quenched-disorder averaging and square-lattice self-duality.
• Perform or critique4-state Potts numerical work and domain-wall free-energy analysis.
• Resolve questions involving noncontractible loop defects.
• Contribute as a solver, auditor or adjudicator according to expertise.
Required background
• Ability to produce rigorous specialist physics solutions or critiques.
Preferred background
• A PhD or equivalent advanced experience in statistical physics, quantum information or condensed-matter theory.
• Research applying duality, quenched-disorder averaging and lattice self-duality.
• Practical 4-state Potts simulation and domain-wall analysis.
• Knowledge of topological quantum codes and toric-code thresholds.
Location and eligibility
• Open worldwide.
Availability
• Fully remote, with a flexible 5–10• hours per week; evenings and weekends can be used.
