Candidates with research interests in the areas of cosmology, early and late universe physics, modified gravity, black hole physics, classical and quantum (super)gravity, AdS/CFT and their interface with mathematical physics are encouraged to apply. Kindly note that this position is not suitable for researchers currently working mainly in astrophysics and astronomy.
The candidate must hold a PhD in Physics, show to be an active researcher in one of the proposed areas and demonstrate ability to obtain external (to PUCV) funding. He/she should submit a cover letter with a statement of research and an arXiv author identifier, curriculum vitae, a PhD degree proof and two recommendation letters to Prof. Olivera Miskovic olivera.miskovic[AT]pucv.cl.
