Postdoc position at the Institute of Theoretical Physics in theoretical gravitational physics |
|
Workplace: | Faculty of Mathematics and Physics - School of Physics - Institute of Theoretical Physics |
Job Offer Code: | 202303-PD-MFF-UTF-003 |
ITP is an internationally recognized place of excellence in theoretical gravitational physics. The institute offers a vibrant and supportive environment, together with plentiful opportunities to collaborate with numerous experts in Prague’s relativity community and with a large number of students and postdocs trained at ITP. The position is offered for 2 years with a possible extension for another year subject to funding situation and mutual interest. Applicants may apply for multiple postdoctoral positions simultaneously open at the ITP. The application must be submitted for each position separately. | |
Qualification and Other Requirements: | We invite applications for a postdoctoral position in theoretical gravitational physics. The successful candidate is expected to primarily work with Doc. David Kubiznak (project supervisor), as well as collaborate with other members of the Gravity Group at the Institute. The research topics may include (but are not limited to) the supervisor’s scientific interests, such as the “black hole chemistry” and its holographic interpretation, quantum information aspects of spacetimes, modified theories of gravity, or purely classical investigations of mathematical properties of black holes and their hidden symmetries. |
Expected Start Date: | 1. September 2023 or negotiable |
Term contract: | 2 years |
Informal inquiries can be sent to: | david.kubiznak@matfyz.cuni.cz |
