Postdoctoral positions in theoretical physics at UNAM, Mexico City, Mexico

The Department of Gravitation and Field Theory at the Institute for Nuclear Sciences of UNAM, has openings, twice a year, for postdoctoral fellows in its fields of study. The positions are for one year, renewable for a second one, depending upon funding and performance, and they carry a competitive monthly stipend, as well as basic health insurance for the postdoctoral fellow and his/her dependents. The positions are open to researchers from any part of the world, independently of ethnicity, religion and gender. The Department lines of research include classical and quantum aspects of gravitation, numerical relativity, cosmology, mathematical physics, quantum field theory, lattice QCD, biophysics, and complex systems. The permanent members are Miguel Alcubierre, Wolfgang Bietenholz, Yuri Bonder, Chryssomalis Chryssomalakos, Jemal Guven, Tim Koslowski, Darío Nunez, Hernando Quevedo, Marcos Rosenbaum, Marcelo Salgado, Christopher Stephens, Daniel Sudarsky, Roberto Sussman, and Alexander Turbiner — there is also a number of postdoctoral fellows and graduate students. Applications are reviewed in late January, for positions starting in September of the same year, and in late June, for positions starting in March of the next year. The successful candidates should have received a PhD in Physics, or closely related fields, no longer than 3 years before the starting date of the position. We strongly encourage interested persons to apply throughout the year, by sending, in a single pdf file, their CV and research plan, while also arranging for three letters of recommendation to be sent to: quevedo@nucleares.unam.mx with copy to fengari[AT]nucleares.unam.mx
