Postdoctoral Position in Classical and Quantum Theory of Gravity,
APCTP, Pohang, Korea:
Applications are invited for one postdoctoral position in the Junior
Research Group “Classical and Quantum Theory
of Gravity” headed by Prof. Dong-han Yeom 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 Quantum gravity and quantum cosmology
Ø Quantum field theory in curved spacetime
Ø Early universe and inflationary cosmology
Ø Applications for physical cosmology, including CMB and
gravitational wave physics
In addition, we encourage applicants for broad interests of research
topics, including various approaches to
quantum gravity, string theory, quantum field theory, modified gravity, 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 two 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 September
of 2018.
Please send your application package including your cover letter, curriculum
vitae, publication list, and research proposal to innocent.yeom@gmail.com by the 15th of May, 2018. 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 15th of May.
