Three similar yet different postdoc positions in theoretical gravitational physics are offered at Institute of Theoretical Physics, Faculty of Mathematics and Physics, Charles University in Prague:
1) “Generic” position in GR group of the Institute, for which applicant’s expertise should be close to one of the following topics: mathematical relativity, exact solutions of Einstein’s field equations and their interpretation, global structure of space-times, hidden symmetries, black holes, higher and lower dimensional gravity, quantum effects in the presence of gravity.
2) Position in the project supervised by David Kubiznak, for which applicant’s expertise should ideally include (but is not limited to) “black hole chemistry” and its holographic interpretation, quantum information aspects of space-times, modified theories of gravity, or purely classical investigations of mathematical properties of black holes and their hidden symmetries.
3) Position in the project supervised by Ivan Kolar and aimed to study gravitational theories and scalar field theories (in the presence of gravity) that contain higher derivatives of finite or infinite order (non-local theories).
Conditions (applying to all three positions):
expected start date: 1st September 2023 (negotiable)
term contract: 2 years
Requirements, documents:
PhD in the field (completed before signing the employment contract)
structured CV
list of publication activity
list of citation response
two letters of recommendation
motivation letter
If interested, you are encouraged to apply for all three positions; in such a case, it is necessary to apply for each position separately. Please, see the attached links for details.
