The particle and nuclear theory group at the Physics Department of the
Technical University of Munich (TUM) invites applications for a Ph. D. position.
We seek candidates with a good background in Quantum Field Theory and Particle theory.
Knowledge of Effective Quantum Field Theories would be highly evaluated but it is not strictly requested.
The particle and nuclear theory group is lead by Prof. N. Brambilla and
Prof. A. Vairo. The interests of the group span over a wide range of topics in particle
physics phenomenology and Effective Quantum Field Theories (quarkonium, heavy quarks, X Y Z exotics, precise calculation of SM parameters, strongly interacting systems), in physics of the early Universe (dark matter, leptogenesis) and in physics of heavy ion
collisions (quarkonium and jet suppression) and nonequilibrium physics. We
deal both with perturbative techniques (high order loop calculations) and
nonperturbative methods (Lattice QCD).
For more information on the group research activity see the web page
http://einrichtungen.ph.tum.de/T30f and
http://einrichtungen.ph.tum.de/T30f/research.html
The research activity will be performed also inside the Excellence Cluster
group "Origins" (https://www.origins-cluster.de/) established in Munich, the Quarkonium
Working Group (www.qwg.to.infn.it), the DFG SFB "Symmetries and Emergences
of Structure in QCD", in collaboration with Bonn University and Chinese
research institutions, and the Focus Group on "Effective Field theories
and Lattice" at the Institute of Advanced Studies of the TUM.
The studentship is available in 2022, the starting time can be negotiated.
Candidates for the PhD position are expected to have a
master/diploma (or equivalent) degree in one of the following fields:
theoretical particle physics, high energy physics, hadron and nuclear physics.
Applications should include a CV, a copy of the master/diploma
and bachelor certificates with scores, a brief summary of previous research
activities, and a recommendation letter.
Review of applications will start immediately and will proceed until the
position has been filled. |
