Job description:
One postdoctoral position in Quantum Gravity at SUSTech (Southern University of Science and Technology, Shenzhen)
The newly established “Classical and Quantum Gravity Group” (spacetime structure from small to large scales) at SUSTech (Shenzhen, China) is looking for a very motivated candidate to fill a postdoctoral position as soon as possible. Our research mainly focuses on local (Lee-Wick) and nonlocal super-renormalizable or finite gravitational theories (SRQG), and super-renormalizable or finite completion/s of the standard model of particle physics (SRSM). Therefore, the interested candidates should submit a short research project highlighting the potential impact of their past research on SRQG and SRSM. The group at the moment consist on 2 postdocs, 1 Research Associate Professor, 1 PhD student, and several undergraduate students.
Priority will be given to experts in: quantum field theory, perturbative quantum gravity, asymptotically safe quantum gravity.
Preference may be given to candidates with no more than 2-3 years of postdoctoral experience. ABD (All But Dissertation) candidates are also encouraged to apply. The positions will start as soon as possible and the appointment is for 2 years. The salary is 220,000 RMB/year.
Interested candidates should send their CV, including contact details of 2-3 referees, and expected starting date, short statement of research interests and/or experience, and publication list. For full considerations all the material should be sent to lmodesto@sustc.edu.cn by December 31, 2017.
Please arrange also for 2-3 recommendation letters to be sent separately to the same email address.
If electronic submission is not possible, application materials may be sent via regular mail to:
Physics Department, Southern University of Science and Technology
No 1088, Xueyuan Rd., Xili, Nanshan District, Shenzhen, Guangdong,
China 518055
Tel: +86 150 2672 5795 (Mobile)
Review of applications will start immediately and shortlisted candidates will be contacted as soon as possible. The DEADLINE is December 31.
