Research Associates in QFT and String Theory (Fixed Term)University of Cambridge

We invite applications for two or more postdoctoral Research Associates in Theoretical Physics, based at the Department of Applied Mathematics and Theoretical Physics. The successful appointees would be expected to start on 1 October 2023 for three years.

Candidates should be qualified to undertake research in topics in quantum field theory or quantum gravity. Members of the group with interests in this area include Alejandra Castro, Nick Dorey, Maciej Dunajski, Sean Hartnoll, Enrico Pajer, Harvey Reall, Ron Reid-Edwards, Jorge Santos, David Skinner, David Tong and Aron Wall.

The successful candidate will have completed (or nearly completed) a PhD in Theoretical Physics or a closely related area prior to their appointment, and will have demonstrated a capacity to produce world-class research. Duties would include developing and conducting individual and collaborative research projects. The role holders will be expected to plan and manage their own research and administration, with guidance if required. They must be able to communicate material of a technical nature and be able to build internal and external contacts.
