Position Description:

The Center for Theoretical Physics of the Universe, Cosmology, Gravity, and Astroparticle Physics Group (CTPU-CGA) at Institute for Basic Science (http://www.ibs.re.kr/ctpu-cga), South Korea, invites applications for senior researcher positions in Theoretical Cosmology, Gravity and Astro(particle) physics, which can start any time before December 16th, 2025 as long as all requirements are met at the point of starting time.* The position can begin, for example, from March 1st, 2025 or from October 1st, 2025 etc. The initial appointment will be for 2 years, and can be extended for an additional year subject to the performance review and funding situation**. Any field and/or topic is welcome as long as it is related to cosmology, gravity, and (astro)particle physics. For example, observational cosmology, dark matter, neutrino physics, quantum information, and so on are also welcome in addition to standard theoretical cosmology, gravity, and particle physics.

We recently initiated a new center called CTPU-CGA in CTPU led by the director, Masahide Yamaguchi, from March 2023. We will jointly organize the CTPU with another center CTPU-PTC led by the director, Kiwoon Choi, but the budget, organization, and recruitment are completely independent. The official language at the center is English. Research interests of our group cover broad areas of theoretical cosmology, gravity, astroparticle physics, and related areas.

Applications should include CV, publication list, research statement, Consent to Collection and Use of Personal Information / Application for IBS (download on IBS job Board), and at least three letters of recommendation. For full consideration, application materials including the letters should be submitted by December 8th, 2024, through Academic Jobs Online. You can download Consent form & Application for the Institute for IBS file and find out more information from the below link:

* Up to 3 months deferral is negotiable, but doctoral degree must be obtained before December 16th, 2025, even in that case.

** Though the official title is “Senior” Researcher, it’s just an official one. This recruitment is effectively for postdoctoral researchers including fresh ones.

** The term can be extended once, and the additional term is 1 year. A researcher with an exceptionally good performance might get a longer additional term. (The additional term cannot exceed 3 years)

Application Materials Required:

Submit the following items online at this website to complete your application:

Cover letter
Curriculum Vitae
Research statement
Publication list
Consent from and Application for IBS
Three reference letters (to be submitted online by the reference writers on this site )
