Postdoctoral Positions In Theoretical High Energy Physics

Up to four new postdoctoral positions will be available in the Abdus Salam ICTP High Energy, Cosmology and Astroparticle Physics (HECAP) section for the academic years 2012 - 2014.

Appointments will be made initially for two years, with the possibility of an extension for a third year.

Members of the section are currently working on:

• String theory including D-branes, Gauge/string theory duality, Phenomenological String theory/M theory
• Particle Phenomenology including Grand Unification, Supersymmetry, Extra Dimensions, LHC/Collider physics
• Cosmology including Large Scale Structures, Physics of the Early Universe, Present Acceleration
• Topological field theories
• Neutrino physics and astrophysics

HECAP presently comprises 8 staff members and 10 postdoctoral researchers, as well as up to 200 other short/long-term visitors per year. There is also a close collaboration between ICTP scientists and the International School for Advanced Studies (SISSA), the Department of Theoretical Physics of Trieste University, the Trieste section of the INFN, and the Trieste Observatory. The Section is also a member of the European network "Quest for Unification"and is actively involved in the ATLAS experiment at the CERN LHC.

Each application should include:

• Up-to-date biodata
• Full list of publications
• Three letters of recommendation (may be (e)mailed or up-loaded separately)

Completed applications, which can be accessed online, must reach ICTP before 1 December 2011, at the very latest. The selection will be made immediately thereafter.
