Postdoctoral positions in HEP phenomenology

The Theoretical Physics team at the School of Physics and Astronomy, Sun Yat-sen University (Zhuhai, China) invites applications for several Postdoctoral positions in HEP phenomenology, with the focus on physics beyond the Standard Model, multi-Higgs models, and their astroparticle implications. The candidates must possess proven research experience in theoretical or phenomenological topics within the Standard Model or in bSM models. Solid knowledge of HEP software packages will be a significant advantage.

The Theoretical Physics team includes 13 staff, 7 postdocs, and 30+ graduate students, with research interests ranging from nuclear structure and 0nubb decay to bSM models and gravity. The group has numerous contacts within China and abroad and offers ample resources for visits and collaboration. No teaching is required, but numerous opportunities to work with graduate students will be available. Knowledge of Chinese language is not required.

The initial appointment is for 2 years with possible renewal for another year. The School of Physics and Astronomy offers a competitive base salary, comparable to European standards, plus possible grant funding, and subsidized comfortable housing.
