英国南安普顿大学招聘理论天文学和重力学方向博士后

Location:  Highfield Campus

The Southampton High Energy Physics group invites applications for a postdoctoral research position in quantum field theory, gravity, string theory and holography, starting from 1st October 2015.

The successful applicant will join the newly created Southampton Theory Astronomy and Gravity (STAG) research centre which bridges the Departments of Physics and Mathematics. Members of STAG working on the overlap between quantum field theory and gravitation include Professor Tim Morris, Professor Nick Evans and Dr James Drummond in Physics and Professor Kostas Skenderis, Dr Marika Taylor and Dr Oscar Campos Dias in Mathematics. The successful applicant will have a track record of research in high energy theoretical physics, gravitation, string theory and holography, or another related area, and will contribute to the development of the research group. 

The remaining research interests of the theoretical particle physics group include: LHC phenomenology, physics beyond the standard model, cosmology, neutrino physics, exact renormalization group, and lattice QCD. The gravitation group in Mathematics also focuses on applications of General Relativity to astrophysics including gravitational waves, neutron stars and black holes.

The post is an STFC-funded research fellow for two years, subject to review at the end of the first year. For informal enquiries, please contact Professor Nick Evans, n.j.evans@soton.ac.uk, Tel: +44 (0)23 8059 2092.
