UNIVERSITY OF ADELAIDE
THREE POSTDOCTORAL RESEARCH ASSOCIATES IN THEORETICAL PHYSICS
Special Research Centre for the Subatomic Structure of Matter (CSSM)
School of Chemistry & Physics
We are seeking up to 3 Research Associates in the CSSM. These
positions will be of interest to theorists working in subatomic and
strong interaction physics. The current activities of the CSSM are
primarily focused on nonperturbative QCD and include lattice gauge
theory, chiral effective field theory, and nonperturbative methods in
quantum field theory. This is complemented by studies of quark models
and matter under extremes of density and temperature and
phenomenological work using weak and electromagnetic probes to
investigate strongly interacting systems.
Position 11871:
We seek one candidate to join the research efforts of the CSSM
Lattice Collaboration. Current research in this area is focused on
revealing and understanding the nonperturbative properties of QCD via
numerical simulations on a space-time lattice. We have established
expertise in a broad range of forefront areas including: lattice
action improvement, hadron form factors, quark and gluon propagator
structure, baryon resonance phenomenology and exotic hadrons in
general. We seek a candidate interested in extending these exciting
areas of study. The CSSM has generous access to massively parallel
supercomputers to support its research in lattice gauge theory.
Positions 11116, 13556:
We seek candidates who have demonstrated knowledge and expertise in
the following fields: spin and angular momentum decomposition of the
nucleon; chiral effective field theory and lattice QCD; quark based
description of nuclear structure and dense matter; symmetry tests and
physics beyond the Standard Model, including dark matter; hadron
phenomenology and spectroscopy.
You should have:
- a PhD or equivalent degree (or thesis submitted) in theoretical physics
- a commitment to research excellence in theoretical physics,
particularly in the area of hadronic and nuclear structure
- demonstrated publication track record in leading scientific
journals and conferences
- advanced analytical and computational skills
Salary: (Level A) $62,014 - $66,567 per annum plus an employer
superannuation contribution of 17% may apply.
These fixed-term positions are available from 1 September, 2009 (but an
earlier starting date may be possible).
Please refer to the selection criteria or alternatively contact
Professor Tony Williams,
Director, CSSM
or
Professor Derek Leinweber,
Head, School of Chemistry & Physics
Further information on the CSSM is available at the
CSSM website
CSSM researchers have access to the extensive supercomputer facilities
managed by eResearch SA and also
at the Australian National Facility.
Deadline: ongoing until filled
Your application must:
- include your résumé/Curriculum Vitae (including a list of
publications, and a statement of research interests)
- address the selection criteria
- quote the relevant reference number
- include residency status
- include the names, addresses and/or email details of three referees
