Open positions

Postdoc position in Theoretical Particle Physics

We anticipate an opening for one Postdoctoral position in High Energy Theory within the Heisenberg Research Group at the University of Bielefeld, starting in the fall of 2013. The appointment is for two years.

The research interests of the Heisenberg group revolve mostly (though not exclusively) around various aspects of high energy phenomenology, ranging from computer-algorithmic methods for higher order perturbative calculations to effective field theory techniques and applications to matter under extreme conditions. The group will operate within the High Energy Theory Group of the University of Bielefeld, in which active research is carried out in addition on astroparticle physics and cosmology, finite-temperature QCD, heavy ion phenomenology, lattice gauge theory, and physics beyond the Standard Model. More information on the theory group can be found from the web address
http://www.physik.uni-bielefeld.de/theory/e6 .

Qualified applicants, who will have obtained their PhD's in high energy theory by the fall of 2013 or earlier, are encouraged to apply. Candidates with research experience and interest in some aspects of perturbative quantum field theory will be given preference, but no special emphasis is placed on any subfield thereof. The applicants should send a curriculum vitae, a list of publications, and a brief description of their research interests via email (in a single pdf file lastname.pdf), as well as arrange for three letters of recommendation to be sent on their behalf, to Mrs. Gudrun Eickmeyer, gudrun@physik.uni-bielefeld.de.

All material should arrive in Bielefeld by February 15, 2013, though later applications will be considered as well until the position is filled.

For further information on the position and the research expected to be carried out, please contact Prof. York Schröder by email at yorks@physik.uni-bielefeld.de, or check
