About this position

City St George’s, University of London is advertising a two-year, full-time Postdoctoral Research Associate in bootstrap techniques within the Department of Mathematics and the Theoretical Physics group.

The post is linked to the Royal Society-funded project S-matrix Bootstrap: a theoretical collider for particle physics, and the successful candidate will work with Dr Andrea Guerrieri. The research focus includes conformal bootstrap, semidefinite programming, related optimisation problems, and practical applications of SDPB.

This opportunity is well suited to candidates with a background in theoretical physics, mathematics, or closely related mathematical physics areas. The role also involves contributing to seminars and conferences, publishing and presenting research, supporting student supervision where appropriate, and building collaborations across the department’s interdisciplinary environment.

Eligibility highlights: applicants should have a PhD awarded or a PhD thesis submitted; experience with semidefinite programming and SDPB is required; and expertise in areas such as conformal field theory, scattering amplitudes, or S-matrix bootstrap is desirable.

Location: London, England, United Kingdom.

Deadline: 23 August 2026 at 11:59pm. Interviews are scheduled for the week commencing 7 September 2026.

Interested candidates should apply through the linked jobs.ac.uk posting and review the job description for full details.
