Applicants from Brazil, China, India, South Africa and Turkey are particularly welcome. Individuals already resident in the UK or employed by a UK institution are ineligible.
The fellowships are tenable for two years based in London, and will receive a tax exempt subsistence of £24,000 per annum. In addition research expenses of up to £8000 and a generous relocation allowance of £2000 are offered.
Candidates should have no more than 7 years post-doctoral experience in high energy particle physics, and be able to demonstrate research leadership and excellence. Applicants who have successfully obtained grant funding will be advantaged.
A compelling research proposal matched to the strengths of the PPRC research activity is required. The PPRC is actively involved in the T2K and SNO+ neutrino experments as well as the ATLAS experiment at CERN with leading contributions to precision Standard Model and Electroweak physics, Higgs physics (mumu, bb, tautau), rare decays, SUSY and dark matter searches, the Level-1 Calorimeter trigger, and the ATLAS ITk upgrade.
Applications are made by email to Dr Eram Rizvi (e.rizvi@qmul.ac.uk) and should include a CV, research proposal, and a publication list including only articles with the applicant's direct involvement.
One applicant will be selected for submission to the fellowship scheme which has a deadline of 22nd March 2017.
Due to the short timescale candiatates should contact Dr Eram Rizvi (e.rizvi@qmul.ac.uk) at their earliest opportunity.
