Niels Benedikter

Tenure Track Position in Mathematical Physics at University of Milan, Italy

There is an opening of a 6-years position with tenure track at the Department for Mathematics "Federigo Enriques" at Università degli Studi di Milano. You are welcome to contact me if you have any questions.

Application procedure: Ricercatore Tenure Track - s.c. 01/A4, ssd MAT/07 (Codice 5512)

The deadline for applications is 12:00 (CEST) on April 12, 2024.

Postdoctoral fellowships and PhD projects

I plan to offer a PhD project starting autumn of 2024 in the context of my ERC Starting Grant "FermiMath - The Mathematics of Interacting Fermions". Moreover I plan to fill two postdoc positions (3 years with an internationally competitive salary). If you are interested, please contact me by e-mail for more information.

Research Interests

I'm a professor of mathematical physics at the University of Milan (Statale).

The focus of my work is on the mathematically rigorous derivation of effective theories for quantum many-body systems. Examples are the Gross-Pitaevskii and Bogoliubov theories of Bose-Einstein condensates, Hartree-Fock theory for fermionic many-body systems, spin wave theory for the ferromagnetic Heisenberg model, and the random phase approximation describing emergent bosonic excitations in the Fermi gas.

Directions

Milano is well connected to most of Europe by rail. International connections include high-speed trains from Frankfurt, Paris, and Zurich, as well as night trains from Munich and Vienna. I particularly recommend to travel comfortably and with small carbon footprint in a sleeper compartment on an ÖBB Nightjet. For more information, consult Seat61. Within Italy, Milano is most efficiently reached by high-speed train; there are two competing companies, running Frecciarossa and Italotreno services. Most (but not all) international and all national rail tickets to Milano can be compared and bought on Trainline.

To reach the mathematics department in Milan, take the green metro line (ticket for 2,20 Euro from the station "Porta Garibaldi" or "Centrale") to the metro stop "Piola". Find the direction to Piazza Leonardo da Vinci/Politecnico, cross the square and continue straight. After a left turn, find the entrance to the department on your right (map).
Some trains, for example the ÖBB Nightjet, stop also at the smaller train station "Lambrate". From there you can either walk directly to the department (21min), or take the tram 19 around Piazza Leonardo da Vinci to the stop "Via Pascoli" and walk from there (6min), or take the bus 93 to Piazzale Gorini (Istituto Dei Tumori) and walk from there (3min). Same ticket price.
