Institute for Basic Science (IBS) is a national research institute established in accordance with Article 14 of the Special Act on Establishment of and Support for International Science and Business Belts. IBS aims to discover creative knowledge and secure original technologies through world-class basic science research.

 The Center for Geometry and Physics at the Institute for Basic Science invites researchers to join the project “M-brane Network and Quantum Integrability”, led by IBS Junior Chief Investigator Saebyeok Jeong. 

 The project seeks to explore the mathematical structures underlying quantum field theory and string theory, including quantum integrability, vertex algebras, the geometry of moduli spaces, and enumerative invariants. We invite creative and highly motivated researchers who wish to pursue research in these areas or in related topics at the intersection of mathematics and theoretical physics. Detailed research objectives and directions can be found on the webpage (https://www.ibs.re.kr/cgp/). 

There are 1 categories for the opening positions. 

 Category 1) Postdoctoral research associate 

- Quantum Field Theory, String Theory
