Position Description
The theory group in the Particle and Nuclear Division of the Tsung-Dao Lee Institute (TDLI) at the Shanghai Jiao Tong University (SJTU) [http://tdli.sjtu.edu.cn] invites applications for Postdoctoral Research Fellowships in dark matter and neutrino related particle physics, astroparticle, and cosmology. The current research areas of the particle physics at TDLI also include physics beyond the Standard Model, flavor physics, early universe quantum field theory and its application to baryogenesis, quantum chromodynamics and lattice gauge theory, effective field theory, as well as nuclear astrophysics. Being the two new physics topics with solid evidences, dark matter and neutrino are of particular importance.Our group members include Profs. Jason Evans, Shao-Feng Ge, Sophia Han, Hong-Jian He, Xiao-Gang He, Yuichiro Nakai, Michael Ramsey-Musolf, Luca Visinelli, and Frank Wilczek. In addition, we have roughly 20 post-docs and 40 Ph.D. students. The theory group also interacts closely with TDLI and SJTU colleagues leading efforts in experimental searches for dark matter (PandaX); tests of neutrino properties (Daya Bay, JUNO, PandaX-III for neutrinoless double beta decay, and IceCube); precision tests (muon g-2); studies of high energy collisions at the LHC (ATLAS) and prospective future colliders (CEPC/SppC); and related theoretical efforts. The division has an active visitor program and co-organizes several conferences and workshops throughout the year.
The initial appointment of this position is for 2 years, starting from the fall of 2025, and a further 3rd year appointment is possible on mutual agreement. The TDLI offers a competitive salary (comparable to the same-level positions in USA). All post-docs will have the opportunity and be supported to apply for external research funding.
TDLI has an international environment with English as its working language and invites candidates of all nationalities. Applications should be submitted through Academic Jobs Online system and must include a cover letter, curriculum vitae including information on date of birth and date of receiving the PhD degree, research statement, publication list, and at least three reference letters. The deadline is February 1, 2025 and applications received before this date will receive full consideration.
For inquiries about the position and TDLI, please contact Prof. Shao-Feng Ge (gesf@sjtu.edu.cn).
