About this position
The Shing-Tung Yau Center of Southeast University is inviting applications for postdoctoral positions in its Theoretical Physics Group, with appointments starting in 2027. The role is based in central Nanjing, China, within a research institute focused on mathematics and physics.
The position is embedded in a broad and active theoretical physics environment. The current faculty members include Jie Gu, Yunfeng Jiang, Zhijin Li, Hai Lin, Zhengwen Liu, Tadashi Okazaki, Ryo Suzuki, Qiang Wen, Jianfei Xu, and Chi Zhang. The group reports research activity across high energy and mathematical physics, including gauge/gravity dualities, supersymmetric gauge theory, conformal bootstrap, scattering amplitudes, Feynman integrals, gravitational-wave physics, perturbative QCD, collider physics, integrability, quantum information, topological strings, and resurgence.
The center is especially interested in candidates working in theoretical elementary particle physics, with particular encouragement for applicants whose work involves multi-loop computations, perturbative QCD, and collider physics. The postdoctoral appointment is for three years and includes an annual review. The center also maintains close collaborations with faculty in the School of Mathematics, adding to the interdisciplinary research setting.
