The Particle Physics and Cosmology Theory Group at Swansea University is seeking to recruit a postdoctoral research associate working on lattice QCD under the extreme conditions of nonzero temperature and/or density. The post is for two years, and expectation is that start will be in the Fall 2023, although there is some flexibility for the start date.
The PDRA will join the research programme undertaken by Chris Allton, Gert Aarts and Tim Burns, as part of the FASTSUM collaboration, which covers QCD at finite temperature and density, with interest in the behaviour of hadrons below and above the deconfinement transition, hadron spectroscopy in general, transport, and other observables of interest for heavy-ion phenomenology.
The project will include both analytical calculations and numerical development. The ideal candidate for the post will have a strong background in lattice field theory at either zero or nonzero temperature.
The University is committed to supporting and promoting equality and diversity in all of its practices and activities. We aim to establish an inclusive environment and welcome diverse applications from the following protected characteristics: age, disability, ethnicity, gender identity, marriage and civil partnership, pregnancy and maternity, religion and belief, sex (gender), sexual orientation.
