英国伦敦大学城市学院2023年招聘博士后（理论物理学）

伦敦大学（University of London），位于英国首都伦敦，是由伦敦的十几所高校和研究机构组成的大学行政系统，是世界上最具影响力的公立大学联邦体，亦被称为“公立联邦制大学”（Federal University）。

伦敦大学依照皇家宪章组建于1836年，起初是一个学位授予及考试委员会，专门为伦敦大学学院和伦敦国王学院以及其他“因教育目的而设立的非法人机构”的学生颁发学位。截至2019年10月，伦敦大学拥有18个成员机构，200万校友，包括12位君主或皇室成员，52位总统或总理，84位诺贝尔奖获得者，3位奥运金牌得主和几个国家的“民族之父”。英国女王伊丽莎白二世独女安妮公主现任伦敦大学及各院校监。

Founded in 1894, City, University of London is a global university committed to academic excellence with a focus on business and the professions and an enviable central London location.

City attracts around 20,000 students (over 40% at postgraduate level), from more than 150 countries and staff from over 75 countries.

In the last decade City has almost tripled the proportion of its total academic staff producing world-leading or internationally excellent research. During this period City has made significant investments in its academic staff, its estate and its infrastructure and continues to work towards realising its vision of being a leading global university.

Background

This position is in the Theoretical Physics group of the Mathematics Department. Our STFC-funded group consists of Fedor Levkovich-Maslyuk, Georgios Papathanasiou and Bogdan Stefanski, as well as long-term visiting professor Yang-Hui He (LIMS) and is part of the larger Mathematical Physics area of research carried out in the Mathematics Department, whose other members are Olalla Castro-Alvaredo, Andreas Fring and Alessandro de Martino.

The Theoretical Physics group carries out research in gauge theory, string theory and holography as well as applications of computational and exact methods in string phenomenology. Bogdan Stefanski's work is focussed on the gauge/string correspondence particularly in low-supersymmetry settings using exact integrability. The research interests of Fedor Levkovich-Maslyuk focus on integrability, holography, spin chains and matrix models. Georgios Papathanasiou's research focuses on the mathematical structure of scattering amplitudes in quantum field theory, and especially their connection to cluster algebras, tropical geometry and integrability. Yang-Hui He's expertise include low-supersymmetry gauge theories, the relation between stringy phenomenology and algebraic geometry, and pioneering use of Machine Learning in the String Landscape.

We play an active role in the wider London Theoretical Physics community, co- hosting the London Triangle seminar series, co-founding the London Theory Institute (LonTI), as well as through our links with the London Institute for Mathematical Sciences (LIMS).

Responsibilities

The position is for a two-year Postdoctoral Research Associate in the Theoretical Physics group. The successful candidate will carry out world- leading research as part of the STFC-funded Theoretical Physics group at City. They will contribute to the research projects carried out by the Staff members in the group as part of the proposed Consolidated Grant research program.

The role is due to start in October 2024.

Person Specification

Applicants should hold, or be soon to complete, PhD in Theoretical Physics or Mathematics. A record of original, internationally-recognized research of high standard relevant to the main objectives of the research carried out by the Theoretical Physics group at City, particularly in gauge and string theory, holography the use of integrability, algebraic geometry or machine learning in physics.

Additional Information

City offers a sector-leading salary, pension scheme and benefits including a comprehensive package of staff training and development.

Closing date: 19th Jan 2024 at 11:59pm.

Interviews are scheduled for late January 2024
