The Asia Pacific Center for Theoretical Physics
(APCTP) opens a few positions for leaders
of Independent Junior Research Group (JRG) in theoretical physics and related
fields. The 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.
JOB DESCRIPTION
These positions are
open to strengthen the in-house research program of the Center by forming new
JRGs. The Center has sixteen member countries and forms a research network
center of the Asia Pacific region in the field of theoretical physics through
various academic activities. We encourage applications in the area of
theoretical physics, including but not limited to astrophysics, condensed
matter physics, nuclear/hadron physics, particle physics, string theory, and statistical
physics. The existing JRGs at the Center can be found at the APCTP homepage
(http://www.apctp.org). Each JRG leader is granted academic independence and
encouraged to build his/her own research group. JRG leaders are also expected
to promote and take advantage of the connection with other research centers of
the world including the Asia Pacific region.
