The Dahlem Center for Complex Quantum Systems at Freie Universitaet Berlin invites applications for a research assistant position (praedoc) (m/f/d) in Theoretical Condensed Matter Physics, in the field of topological states of matter. The positions will be funded through the SFB-Transregio 183 "entangled states of matter".

The Dahlem Center is an exciting forum that encourages the exchange of ideas and promotes collaboration between established and young scientists within Germany and worldwide ( https://www.physik.fu-berlin.de/forschung/dahlem-center-for-complex-quantum-systems/index.html ). The research focus of the Center is quantum theoretical solid state physics in its entire range.

:
The position involves research in the field of theoretical physics, with a focus on disordered topological matter. The research project is part of the Collaborative Research Center Transregio 183 "Entangled States of Matter”, subproject A03 ( https://www.crc183.uni-koeln.de/ ). An opportunity for a doctorate will be given within the framework the externally funded research project. The position is initially limited until the end of the project, June 30th 2028.

Requirements:
Applicants should have a M.Sc. degree in theoretical physics and must meet the requirements for admission to the doctoral program of the Department of Physics at Freie Universität Berlin.

Excellent knowledge of theoretical solid state physics and many-body theory.

Applications should be sent by e-mail, together with significant documents (CV, academic transcript, and research statement, as well as a letter of reference, which should be sent directly by the author to Prof. Dr. Piet Brouwer, brouwer@physik.fu-berlin.de ) , indicating the reference code, no later than September 15 ^th , 2025 in PDF format (preferably as one document) to Henrike Giebl: henrike.giebl@fu-berlin.de or postal to
