Young
Scientist Training Program (YST) 2022-2
The Asia Pacific Center for Theoretical Physics
(APCTP) opens a few positions for the Young Scientist Training program at the postdoctoral
fellow level in theoretical physics and related fields. The APCTP (https://www.apctp.org) is an
international center founded in 1996 with the first president, Professor C. N.
Yang. We are pursuing the world-leading level of research in theoretical
physics and the training of young scientists in the Asia-Pacific region.
JOB
DESCRIPTION & ELIGIBILITY The aim of this position is to provide career development
opportunities for young scientists who are at an early stage of their research
career but with a proven record of research. All subject areas in theoretical
physics are eligible. YST fellowships will be held at the APCTP, Pohang, Korea,
where an ideal environment for research is provided for potential collaborations
with in-house senior academics (Junior Research Groups), POSTECH faculty &
members, visiting scholars from Korea and abroad, and participants of various
scientific programs organized or supported by the APCTP. Please note that in
order to apply for a work visa of Korea, an applicant should have an official
doctoral degree (PhD or Dsc, etc.) certificate 3 months before the start of
work. In order for a degree certificate to be considered
official, it must be endorsed by the issuing institution or university with a
