Position Description
The Physics Department of Ariel University, Israel, invites applications for a two year postdoctoral research position. The starting date is in 2026 and is negotiable. We are looking for a mathematician who has an experience in the noncommutative geometry and/or in the noncommutative field theory. We are interested, first of all, in the application of the cyclic cohomology theory and, specifically, of the Connes - Chern character to condensed matter physics. This includes, in particular, applications to quantum Hall liquids along the lines of https://doi.org/10.1016/j.aop.2020.168179 . The applications are also possible to the topological semimetals in solid state physics, and to the nondissipative transport in high energy physics. The successful candidate will work under the supervision of Prof. Mikhail Zubkov https://www.ariel.ac.il/wp/mikhail-zubkov https://scholar.google.com/citations?hl=en&user=NMhCf3oAAAAJ&view_op=list_works&sortby=pubdate The applicants will have the opportunity to interact with the other theorists of the physics Department of Ariel University including M.Lewkowicz (condensed matter physics), S.Bondarenko (perturbative QCD), I.Ben-Dayan (cosmology), A.Prygarin (mathematical physics), A.Kashi, L.Tal-Or, Dafne Guetta (astrophysics), V.Belavin (conformal field theory). Candidates with a PhD in pure Mathematics or in theoretical Physics, and with the expertise in the above mentioned fields are encouraged to send their applications including a Curriculum Vitae photo a list of publications a research statement (description of the previous research) by e-mail to: mikhailzu@ariel.ac.il and Zubkov.mike@gmail.com with the subject: Application Postdoc Noncommutative geometry Applications will be considered until the position is filled To consider the application, at least two letters of recommendation are required, to be sent here by mathjobs.org, or by e-mail to: mikhailzu@ariel.ac.il with the subject: Recommendation Postdoc, name of candidate. Alternatively, the letters may be uploaded by the applicant through https://academicjobsonline.org/ajo/edelivery/3153Application Materials Required:
