Field of Interest:astro-ph, hep-ex, hep-ph
Deadline: 2016-12-04
Region: Europe
Job description:
The Max Planck Institute for Physics invites applications for a
Postdoctoral position
to pursue a vigorous research programme in particle theory/phenomenology and its relation to cosmology. Of particular interest to the theory group would be an active interest in the phenomenology, theory and cosmology of axions and their role as dark matter. Members of the theory group with interests in this field include Gia Dvali, Georg Raffelt, Frank Steffen, and as an external collaborator Javier Redondo, University of Zaragoza.
The institute is in the process of starting a new experiment to search for axionic dark matter via the axion-photon coupling mechanism and based on the "dielectric layered haloscope" approach. Interest in interacting with the experimental group would be a particular advantage.
The formal requirement for this position is a PhD in experimental or theoretical physics. The candidate should have a background in nuclear-, particle-, or astroparticle physics. Salary and benefits are commensurate with German public service organizations (TVöD Bund). The contract is initially limited to 2 years with the possibility of an extension.
The Max Planck Society is an equal opportunity employer. The goal is to enhance the percentage of women where they are underrepresented. Women, therefore, are especially encouraged to apply. The Society is committed to employing more people with special needs. Applications of people with special needs are particularly welcome.
Further information can be obtained from Dr. Georg Raffelt (E-Mail: raffelt@mpp.mpg.de). We will continue to receive and consider applications until the position will be filled. Interested applicants should submit an application letter, a statement of research interests, a curriculum vitae, a list of publications, and arrange for three letters of support to be sent to
