About this position
QUP at KEK is recruiting postdoctoral fellows in theoretical physics. The positions are based in the International Center for Quantum-field Measurement Systems for Studies of the Universe and Particles (QUP), a World Premier International Research Center Initiative hosted by the High Energy Accelerator Research Organization (KEK) in Tsukuba, Japan.
The fellows will carry out theoretical research in areas such as particle phenomenology, cosmology, astroparticle physics, neutrino physics, quantum sensing for fundamental physics, and applications of quantum field theory. The research environment is strongly interdisciplinary, connecting particle physics, astrophysics, condensed matter physics, measurement science, and systems science.
Successful candidates will work under the supervision of one of the QUP Principal Investigators, Kazunori Nakayama or Volodymyr Takhistov. They will also interact with QUP experimentalists involved in international projects, including dark matter searches in laboratories and space missions for cosmology and astrophysics, and will have opportunities to engage with the KEK Theory Center, Japan's largest particle theory group.
QUP also promotes collaboration through its satellite laboratories at the University of California at Berkeley, Toyota Central R&D Lab., and ISAS at the Japanese space agency JAXA, creating a broad international setting for research and the development of new directions in related fields.
Funding details
Annual contract with renewal subject to satisfactory progress and continuing availability of funds; maximum term three years; salaries are comparable to those at other prestigious institutions.
What's required
Applicants should have a Ph.D. in Physics or a related field by the time the appointment begins. Candidates should have a strong background in one or more of particle phenomenology, cosmology, astroparticle physics, neutrino physics, quantum sensing for fundamental physics, or quantum field theory applications, and preference is given to those interested in bridging theoretical work with experiments and observations.
