Position Description
Postdoctoral Positions in Theoretical Quantum Matter and Quantum Information Science
Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Lausanne (EPFL) 
 The group of Dr Kruchkov at EPFL, Switzerland, invites applicants for a postdoctoral positions. The intended starting date is Sep 2026. We seek for an excellent and highly motivated candidates with training in quantum matter theory and quantum information science, broadly defined. Experience in topological materials/ topological quantum computation/ quantum geometry/ exposure to tensor network methods or and/or AI/LLM for physics would be a positive addition. 
 For this postdoctoral position, we intend to focus on topological two-dimensional materials, flat bands, and emergent quantum phenomena therein, with special focus on quantum geometry, Fractional Chern insulating phases, and non-abelian anyons. For more information, please visit www.alexkruchkov.com . 
 This research line is supported by Swiss Quantum Initiative , a national initiative to consolidate Switzerland's outstanding position in the field of quantum technologies and boost its international competitiveness, under its grant SNSF 225225 .      
The application process 
 The application needs to be written in English and submitted via Academicjobsonline. The application should contain: 
Cover letter;
