About this position

The School of Quantum at the University of Chinese Academy of Sciences in Beijing is inviting applications for postdoctoral fellow positions in its high energy theory group. The group brings together faculty working across a broad range of theoretical physics topics, including AdS/CFT correspondence, quantum gravity, quantum entanglement and quantum chaos, quantum field theory, mathematical physics, conformal bootstrap, and generalized symmetries.

Successful candidates will be able to work with one or more members of the group or pursue independent research aligned with the group’s interests. The current faculty members named for the high energy theory group are Ping Gao, Masahiro Nozaki, Cheng Peng, Huajia Wang, Yunqin Zheng, and Xinan Zhou.

School of Quantum is a fast-growing institute within the University of Chinese Academy of Sciences and is part of a dynamic academic environment in Beijing, near major theoretical physics communities and institutes. The position is for an initial two-year appointment, extendable to four years.

The postdoc package includes a competitive salary, travel support, housing compensation, and strong administrative support for international members of the group.

Funding details

Competitive annual salary of 300,000 CNY or higher depending on qualifications, plus a generous travel grant and 6000 CNY per month housing compensation after enrolling as a Special Research Assistant.

What's required

Applicants should have a PhD degree or equivalent in theoretical physics, completed or expected by 2026. Applications should include a cover letter, CV, publication list, research statement, and three recommendation letters.

How to apply
