Position Description
The Simons Collaboration on Celestial Holography invites applications for a postdoctoral position in the group of Prof. Andrea Puhm at the Institute for Theoretical Physics at the University of Amsterdam. The position is a full-time two-year appointment starting in Fall 2025, and may be extended to a third year upon successful performance, subject to funding and mutual agreement. This position is funded by the Simons Collaboration on Celestial Holography, made up of 13 PIs at 10 institutions around the world. The post carries the title "Simons Fellow in Celestial Holography," and carries with it the benefit of substantial opportunities for travel and scientific interaction. This includes funded travel to Collaboration meetings, workshops and schools as well as the potential for intra-collaboration research visits. The salary ranges between € 3,345 to € 5,278 (scale 10) commensurate with experience. The candidate is expected to have a PhD in theoretical physics and a solid background in quantum field theory, general relativity and mathematical physics, and be interested in carrying out research in celestial holography and related topics. The faculty members in the string theory group are Jácome Armas, Daniel Baumann, Jan de Boer, Miranda Cheng, Lorenz Eberhardt, Ben Freivogel, Diego Hofman, Mikhail Isachenkov, Andrea Puhm, Jan Pieter van der Schaar, Erik Verlinde, Marcel Vonk. In addition to working in collaboration with the grant-holder (Andrea Puhm), the successful candidate will be encouraged to develop and pursue their own approaches to research.
