About this position

The Centre for Geometry, Analysis and Gravitation (GAnG) in the School of Mathematical Science and the Centre for Theoretical Physics and Astronomy (CTPA) in the School of Physical and Chemical Sciences at Queen Mary University of London invite applications for a 2-year fixed-term postdoctoral research assistant position in theoretical physics.

The successful candidate will contribute to the research project “Symmetries and Quantum Fields: Dualities, Algebras and Learning”, supported by the STFC Consolidated Grant 2025 “Amplitudes, Strings and Duality”. The position sits within an active theoretical physics environment spanning geometry, analysis, gravitation, and high-energy theory, with faculty in the relevant area including Tarek Anous, David Berman, Matthew Buican, Masanori Hanada, Biagio Lucini, Costis Papageorgakis, Sanjay Ramgoolam, Rodolfo Russo, David Vegh, and Congkao Wen.

The project focuses on modern questions in theoretical and mathematical physics, especially themes connected to symmetries and quantum fields. Research directions named in the advert include quantum field theory broadly defined, generalized symmetries, black hole physics, holography and AdS/CFT, field theory in de Sitter space, quantum information, and matrix models. The role is intended for an outstanding theorist who can contribute to this broad programme and engage with the schools’ collaborative research activities.

The post is based in London at Queen Mary University of London and is part of the wider research activity of GAnG and CTPA.

Funding details

2-year fixed-term postdoctoral research assistant position funded by the STFC Consolidated Grant 2025 'Amplitudes, Strings and Duality'.

What's required

Applicants should have a strong research record within theoretical physics and demonstrate potential to contribute to the project. The advert seeks an outstanding theorist working in one or more of the listed research areas: quantum field theory broadly defined, generalized symmetries, black hole physics, holography and AdS/CFT, field theory in de Sitter space, quantum information, and matrix models.
