The areas we will be recruiting in are:

-Field theory and beyond the standard model particle physics, collider phenomenology and LHC physics. 

-The intersection of particle physics, astrophysics and cosmology, including but not limited to dark matter. 

-Gravitational waves as probes of cosmology, physics beyond the standard model and tests of modified gravity.
