Field of Interest:astro-ph, hep-ph
Deadline: 2017-11-01
Region: Europe
Job description:
Applications are invited for a postdoctoral position in particle cosmology, jointly between the Helsinki Institute of Physics (HIP) at the University of Helsinki and the University of Sussex. The position is based in Helsinki, with travel money enabling active collaboration with both institutes, and lasts from 1.1.18 (or by agreement) until 31.8.19.
The position is associated with the Academy of Finland research project Searching for Phase Transitions in the Early Universe. The project, led by Mark Hindmarsh, concentrates on the theory and phenomenology of phase transitions at the electroweak scale and beyond, including the gravitational waves from the phase transition itself, and other signals from other relics of phase transitions such as topological defects.
HIP is located in the Department of Physics of the University of Helsinki, and has close interactions with the department’s theoretical high energy physics community. More information about the research areas can be found at http://hep.physics.helsinki.fi/.
Visits to Sussex will be hosted by the Theoretical Particle Physics research group, which in collaboration with the Astronomy Centre has a thriving research environment for early universe cosmology. More information about the Sussex research groups can be found at http://www.sussex.ac.uk/physics/research.
Junior researchers who will have obtained their PhD degrees by 1.1.2018 and whose research interests include one or several of the topics listed above, are encouraged to apply. Preference will be given to candidates with experience in parallel lattice simulations of fields.
Applicants should assemble a short research statement, a curriculum vitae and a list of publications into one pdf file, which should be sent to mark.hindmarsh@helsinki.fi.
Applicants should also arrange for at least two letters of recommendation to be sent on their behalf to the same address.
Application material should arrive before November 1 2017 to guarantee consideration.
