Job description:
Fields of interest: string and M-theory, supersymmetric gauge theory, relationships to integrable models
Description: In the group of Susanne Reffert, there is an opening for a PhD position starting in April 2016 or an agreed-upon later date. The successful applicant is highly motivated with a sound background in theoretical physics and is expected to contribute to research on supersymmetric gauge theories, their brane constructions in string theory and their relationships to integrable models (spin chains etc.).
The Institute for Theoretical Physics in Bern is home to a strong particle physics program. Senior scientists in related fields include Matthias Blau (GR, string theory) and Jean-Pierre Derendinger (supersymmetry).
Duration: 3 years
Requirements: Masters in theoretical physics, prior knowledge of either quantum field theory or integrable models
Application materials:
- cover letter (1 page)
- cv
- two reference letters
- brief statement of interests and experience
- academic transcript
Please send your application to sreffert@itp.unibe.ch
