Job description:
The Department of Physics at National Central University in Taoyuan, Taiwan is offering a 1 + 1 year postdoctoral scholar position.
The postdoctoral scholar will be working closely with Associate Professor Yi-Zen Chu, a theoretical gravitational physicist, cosmologist and field theorist. He has been exploring various methods of computing and understanding real/position-spacetime Green's functions of wave equations in cosmological and black hole geometries -- the most relevant publications have the following arXiv identifiers: 1611.00018, 1603.00151, 1504.06337, 1310.2939, 1305.6933, and 1108.1825. Most recently, he has been trying to generalize the known asymptotically flat GW memories and energy-momentum to the cosmological context.
Yi-Zen Chu is seeking a theorist who shares similar research interests. This encompasses:
(1) Solution of both linear and nonlinear wave equations, including approximation methods, asymptotic analysis and effective field theory;
(2) Post-Newtonian theory and/or experience with the Extreme-Mass-Ratio-Inspiral problem;
(3) Cosmological perturbation theory, the study of Large Scale Structure and/or gravitational lensing;
(4) World-line path integral representations of Green's functions;
(5) Gravitational and non-Abelian (Yang-Mills) scattering amplitudes;
(6) Testing General Relativity in cosmological and astrophysical contexts;
(7) Wolfram Mathematica software package development.
Please write to Yi-Zen Chu directly (yizen.chu@gmail.com) if you are interested in this position. Do provide a statement of current research interests; a copy of your academic CV; and have 3 referees send their letters of recommendations directly to the above e-mail address or upload them to AJO.
The position is intended to begin Spring 2018 (February or so), but the starting date can likely be significantly earlier. Applications will be evaluated on a rolling basis, so please initiate contact with Yi-Zen Chu as soon as possible.
