The group covers all major theoretical research areas of nuclear, particle, astroparticle physics, and cosmology. In particular, there are active theory programs on heavy flavor physics and CP-violation, perturbative QCD, relativistic kinetic theory and fluid dynamics, heavy ion collisions, cosmic rays, neutrino astrophysics, nuclear astrophysics, beyond the Standard Model phenomenology, early Universe, and gravitational waves.

Successful candidates will be expected to work closely with research fellows of the group, including Anatoli Fedynitch, Hsiang-nan Li, Sai-Ping Li, Kin-Wang Ng, Meng-Ru Wu, Di-Lun Yang, and Tzu-Chiang Yuan. Collaboration with other faculty members in the Institute of Physics, or in other local institutes, including the NCTS (Taipei, Taiwan), ASIAA (Taipei, Taiwan), and other international institutes with overlapping or complementary interests are encouraged.

The available positions are for 2+1 or 1+1 years and may be extended, subject to performance and available funding. The commencement date can be flexible and applicants are expected to have their PhD degree in physics or astrophysics by the commencement date.

Applicants should submit their curriculum vitae, publication list, research interests and plan, and arrange three reference letters sent via AcademicJobsOnline.

Applications will be reviewed after December 20, 2021. Later applications may also be considered if the positions remain open.

Inquiries can be sent to Di-Lun Yang (dlyang@gate.sinica.edu.tw) or Dr. Meng-Ru Wu (mwu@gate.sinica.edu.tw).

Additional Information:

Academia Sinica is the leading basic research institution in Taiwan, government funded and made up of an increasingly international community of scholars. Besides the Theory Group, the Medium and High-energy Physics Experimental Groups conduct active experimental and instrumentation programs on collider, hadron structure, cosmic rays, neutrinos, dark matter and beyond the Standard Model physics and are key participants in international collaborations like AMS, CDEX, ATLAS/LHC, COMPASS/CERN, LEPS/SPring-8, SeaQuest/FNAL, LIGO, and KAGRA while leading a domestic TEXONO experiment on reactor neutrinos.
