The Particle Physics and Cosmology Theory Group at Swansea University is seeking to recruit a postdoctoral research associate working on applications of lattice field theory to support its research programme on physics beyond the standard model. The post is for two years, and expectation is that start will be in the Fall 2023, although there is some flexibility for the start date.

The PDRA will join the research programme led by B. Lucini and M. Piai, working on new strongly coupled realizations of composite dynamics and its applications, which include for example composite Higgs models, dilaton-Higgs models, top partial compositeness, quasi-conformal dynamics, strongly interacting models of dark matter.

The ideal candidate for the post has a strong background in theoretical particle physics, and previous experience with programming and running lattice calculations on modern, parallel computing facilities. Familiarity with current trends in extensions of the Standard Model is desirable, as is expertise with effective field theory techniques, and with more formal theoretical ideas, such as those of gauge/gravity dualities. The project will include both a software development component and a physics analysis one, hence candidates are invited to provide in their application technical details about their previous experience.

The University is committed to supporting and promoting equality and diversity in all of its practices and activities. We aim to establish an inclusive environment and welcome diverse applications from the following protected characteristics: age, disability, ethnicity, gender identity, marriage and civil partnership, pregnancy and maternity, religion and belief, sex (gender), sexual orientation. Appointments will always be based on merit.
