Four or more postdoctoral positions in theoretical physics - Hiring in process/Finished, not possible to apply

Four or more postdoctoral positions in theoretical physics at the Department of Physics and Astronomy, Uppsala University, starting 2019-09-01, or later as agreed upon.

The postdoctoral positions are part of several projects and grants funded by the Knut and Alice Wallenberg Foundation, the European Research Council, the Swedish Research Council and the Ragnar Söderberg Foundation. Applicants are expected to conduct research in theoretical physics related to quantum field theory and string theory. Research areas of particular interest include (but are not restricted to): supersymmetry, gauge/gravity duality, integrability, scattering amplitudes, gravitational waves, cosmology, and string phenomenology.

Prerequisites: The holder of a postdoctoral researcher position must have a PhD degree in theoretical physics or equivalent. The PhD degree must have been obtained at the start of employment and no more than three years prior to the application deadline; however, periods of e.g. sick leave or parental leave are deducted from this three-year period.

The application should contain a cover letter mentioning their research area, a CV, a brief research statement, and a publication list.  The applicant should arrange to have two letters of recommendation sent by email to postdoc.teorfys.uppsala@gmail.com (if letters are made available through AcademicJobsOnline they need not be sent through email).  Contact information for the letter writers should be included in the application. Personal circumstances that may be of relevance in the evaluation, for example periods of parental leave, should be mentioned in the CV.
