Jobs in Theoretical Physics
The following position(s) are open:
-
Post-Doctoral Research Assistant x 4
Applications are invited for up to four post-doctoral research positions in the Particle Theory Group. The positions are supported by STFC grant 'Theoretical Particle Physics Research' and ERC grant 'BSM Oxford: Fundamental Beyond-the-Standard-Model Physics'.
Successful candidates will conduct research in theoretical particle physics and at the time of appointment will have, or be about to complete, a PhD in an area of theoretical particle physics that enables them to support the activities of the group. These include: physics beyond the Standard Model; particle astrophysics and cosmology; lattice field theory; phenomenology of electroweak and strong interactions; string and M-theory; conformal field theory; gauge-gravity duality; matrix models and quantum gravity. Further information on the group can be obtained from: http://www-thphys.physics.ox.ac.uk/research/particle
Further details are available here. The closing date for applications is 04 December 2009.
Fellowships
There are various externally funded fellowship schemes that exist to allow the development of research proposed by the applicant. We welcome and encourage researchers wishing to explore this type of opportunity, provided they contact an appropriate member of the sub-department (e.g., in his or her research area) or the Head of Sub-department well before the closing date. Examples of such schemes include:
- Royal Society University Research Fellowships (deadline usually October/November) and Dorothy Hodgkin Fellowships (February)
- Royal Commission for the Exhibition of 1851 Research Fellowships (February)
- EPSRC and STFC Fellowships
- Marie Curie Fellowships
