The Abrikosov Center for Theoretical Physics (ACTP) at the Moscow Institute for Physics and Technology (MIPT) invites applications for several research fellow positions in theoretical condensed matter physics, photonics, quantum optics and information. The ACTP has been created in 2022 with a goal of accumulating a strong group of young theoretical physicists who will develop their research projects in a stimulating atmosphere of the leading research oriented university. At the next stage it will employ several senior researchers and host a number of world-leading theoretical physicists coming as visiting scientists for fixed periods. ACTP is expected to play a significant role as a high-international standard research center immersed in the environment of the highly reputed educational institute.

Successful candidates aged not more than 35 (subject to justified exceptions) are expected to hold a PhD or equivalent in physics, to possess a track record of high-impact publications and to present a compelling research plan for 3 years to come. The research fellow positions will be granted for a 3-year period extendible by further 2 years upon evaluation by the International Advisory Board of the ACTP.

The research fellows will benefit from a gross salary of 250.000 Rubles per month. MIPT will offer subsidised housing options close to its campus. Applications in English containing a CV, a list of publications and a 2 page research project are to be submitted here. The submission deadline is October 31, 2023. Shortlisted candidates will be invited to on-line interviews with the members of the International Advisory Board of the ACTP. It is expected that offers to the first successful candidates will be issued in November 2023.
