The Institute for Condensed Matter Theory at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign

ICMT postdoctoral fellowships

Applications are invited to fill several ICMT postdoctoral fellowships in condensed matter theory for the coming academic year, starting in August 2008, or sooner (see FAQ). These fellowships will normally be expected to last for three years.

ICMT postdoctoral fellows will have wide lattitude in their choice of research activities, and will be encouraged to be broadly engaged with condensed matter research activities at UIUC. Applications are encouraged from strong, creative individuals, regardless of specialty.

Applications are also invited to fill a number of departmental postdoctoral positions in condensed matter theory for the coming academic year.

Condensed matter theory faculty at UIUC interact with other theorists at UIUC, with the superb and large experimental condensed matter group, and have access to unparalleled facilities for computation through the National Center for Supercomputing Applications. They also interact with biologists elsewhere on campus, including through the University's Institute for Genomic Biology.

How to apply for ICMT postdoctoral fellowships (see FAQ)

• Applications should arrive no later than November 21, 2007. Applications received after this date cannot be guaranteed consideration.
• Web-based applications, made via https://my.physics.uiuc.edu/join, are strongly preferred.
• These applications should include
  • a cover letter
  • a curriculum vita
  • a research statement, summarizing your past, ongoing and future research, and
  • a publications list, including papers and preprints (with their URLs, if they are posted on the preprint server).
• For any papers or preprints that are not readily available via the internet, applicants may wish to upload electronic copies (see FAQ) via the supporting documentation channel (or mail paper copies to the address given below).
• Electronic application materials in formats other than PDF are unlikely to be considered.
• Additionally, each applicant should include contact information for three referees or possibly more (see FAQ) from whom letters of recommendation can be requested. Referees should be prepared to upload their letters of recommendation (PDF preferred) no later than December 1, 2007.
• Address to which applications materials (including letters of recommendation) can, if necessary, be mailed:
