Senior Theoretical Physicist: Cosmology & Gravitational Waves

University of Turku; Turku; In loco; EUR 45.000 - 50.000; Tempo pieno

Descrizione del lavoro

University of Turku seeks a Senior Researcher in Theoretical Physics to advance finite-temperature QFT and cosmology. You will work on perturbative and computational methods, contributing to phase transitions and gravitational-wave phenomenology, within an ERC Consolidator Grant project.

The role requires a PhD in a related field, a strong independent research track, and excellent English. On-site in Turku, with a deadline of 13 October and a focus on early-Universe physics.

Competenze

• PhD in theoretical physics or closely related field.
• Demonstrated ability to conduct independent scientific research.
• Strong research record in QCD and neutron star EOS physics.
• Experience with analytical or computational methods in theoretical physics.
• Excellent written and spoken English.

Mansioni

• Develop theoretical and computational methods in finite-temperature quantum field theory.
• Contribute to cosmological phase transitions and gravitational-wave cosmology studies.
• Advance perturbative and computational frameworks for finite-temperature QFT.
• Apply tools to early-Universe cosmology and GW phenomenology.
