About this position
The Quantum Gravity Group in the Institute for Theoretical Sciences at Westlake University is seeking a postdoctoral fellow for a two-year appointment. The group works on fundamental problems in quantum gravity and related areas of theoretical physics, with research spanning loop quantum gravity, spinfoam models, gravitational path integrals, nonperturbative renormalization group approaches, and asymptotic safety.
The postdoctoral researcher will join a small and active team that currently includes the principal investigator, two postdoctoral researchers, two PhD students, and three long-term visiting researchers. The group combines analytical and numerical methods and studies connections between quantum gravity and black hole physics, gravitational waves, and cosmology.
This position is based at Westlake University in Hangzhou, where the research environment includes the Quantum Gravity Group’s own website and a broader institute setting in theoretical sciences. The advert presents the role as a research-intensive postdoctoral opportunity within an internationally oriented group focused on core issues in fundamental physics.
