Postdoctoral Position in Classical and Quantum Theory of Gravity,
APCTP, Pohang, Korea:
Applications are invited for one or two postdoctoral positions in the
Junior Research Group “Classical and
Quantum Theory of Gravity” headed by Prof. Dong-han Yeom, which will be
newly established from September of 2017, at the Asia Pacific Center for
Theoretical Physics (APCTP), Pohang, Korea.
APCTP (https://www.apctp.org), founded in 1996, is a
non-governmental organization aiming for an international center dedicated to
excellence in research and the training of young scientists in the Asia-Pacific
region. APCTP offers a great
research environment with strong connections to a number of active theoretical
and experimental research groups at the Pohang University of Science and
Technology (POSTECH). APCTP has broad international agreements with many leading institutions
around the globe for scientific exchanges.
Research interests of this group include the following topics:
Ø Classical and semi-classical investigations of black
holes
Ø Euclidean quantum gravity and applications to quantum
cosmology
Ø Modified gravity and applications to physical cosmology
Ø Numerical study of dynamical black holes and their astrophysical
implications
In addition, we encourage applicants for broad interests of research
topics, including various approaches to
quantum gravity, string theory, quantum field theory, gravitational physics, and cosmology. Especially, applicants with
good numerical (computer programming)
skills are highly recommended.
The initial appointment is for one year and extendable up to three years depending
on research performances and funding situations. The starting date of the
appointment is negotiable but should be no ‘earlier’ than the 1st of October of
2017.
Please send your application package including your cover letter, curriculum
vitae, publication list, and research proposal to innocent.yeom@gmail.com by the 30th of April, 2017. The applicant
should also arrange for two recommendation letters to the same e-mail address.
Review of applications will continue until the positions are filled, but
priority will be given to applications received by the 30th of April.
