Travel jobs in United States

Applications are invited for a post-doctoral researcher position in formal high-energy theory at the Mandelstam Institute for Theoretical Physics (MITP) at the University of the Witwatersrand in Johannesburg, South Africa.

This is a two-year position.

Applicants should have obtained a Ph.D. within the last five years and have shown evidence of accomplishment and independence in their research.

Members of the MITP include Pallab Basu, Kevin Goldstein, Vishnu Jejjala, Anosh Joseph, Isobel Kolbé, João Rodrigues, Izak Snyman, and Sam van Leuven. The MITP currently has four post-docs in formal theory.

Members of the MITP work on various topics in hep-th, hep-ph, hep-lat, cond-mat, cs.LG, and nucl-th. Theorists who overlap with any of these areas are encouraged to apply. The appointment is subject to approval by the appropriate funding agencies. We can apply for additional funding to extend the term of the fellowship, but this is not guaranteed. A post-doc can expect a reasonable stipend for research-related travel.

Please apply by sending your application package to witsmitp@gmail.com. The application package must contain the candidate's name in the subject line and (i) a Curriculum Vitae, (ii) a Research statement, and (iii) a Publication list must be attached as a single PDF document.

Three letters of reference should be sent to the same email address with the candidate's name in the subject line.
