Postdoctoral Position in Quantum Field Theory

Postdoctoral Position in Quantum Field Theory

Uppsala University - Department of Mathematics

Uppsala, Sweden

Duties

You will work on topics related to the ERC grant “The Higher Structure of Symmetries” under the supervision of Dr. Michele Del Zotto, at the interface of the group of geometry and physics at the Department of Mathematics and the group of theoretical physics of the Department of Physics and Astronomy. The duties include collaboration with the various members of the group and the production of research results.

Requirements

To qualify for an employment as a postdoctor you must have a PhD degree in Mathematics or Theoretical Physics or a foreign degree equivalent to a PhD degree in Mathematics or Theoretical Physics. The PhD degree must have been obtained no more than three years prior to the application deadline. The three year period can be extended due to circumstances such as sick leave, parental leave, duties in labour unions, etc.

Preference will be given to candidates with proven experience in one or more of the following areas quantum field theories, lattice models, non-perturbative methods, topological quantum field theories, topological orders, and defects in quantum field theories. The ability to conduct independent research, think analytically, and collaborate in an international environment is required. Excellent skills in spoken and written English are essential.

Additional qualifications

Experience working in interdisciplinary environments or at the interface between mathematics and theoretical physics is an advantage.
