Position Description
Applications are invited for Research Associate (postdoc) positions in the field of quantum field approaches to gravity and cosmology to be held in the Theoretical Physics Group / Abdus Salam Centre for Theoretical Physics at Imperial College London to start autumn 2026.Members of the Centre undertake world-leading research in key areas of cosmology, gravity, particle physics, and quantum theory and comprises Profs. Shai Chester, Carlo Contaldi, Claudia de Rham, Fay Dowker, Tim Evans, Jerome Gauntlett, Jonathan Halliwell, Amihay Hanany, Chris Hull, Shota Komatsu, João Magueijo, Arttu Rajantie, Andrew Tolley, Arkady Tseytlin, Daniel Waldram, and Toby Wiseman.
This is a fixed-term appointment for two years with potential extension subject to progress and funding.
Applicants must hold a PhD (or equivalent) in Theoretical Physics or a closely related discipline, either awarded or anticipated, or an equivalent level of professional qualifications and experience. They should also be able to demonstrate all the following essential criteria:
- Outstanding research experience in a broad range of advanced techniques including cutting edge QFT techniques applied to gravity, amplitude approaches to quantum gravity, scattering amplitudes, effective field theories including for cosmology and gravity and connections with UV completion.
- Experience in giving talks at internationally recognised conferences and workshops.
- Experience in carrying out research of high quality, independently and in a team, with evidence provided by by a portfolio of high-quality research publications.
We strongly encourage women and underrepresented minorities to apply.
