The Heising-Simons Collaboration on “Observational Signatures of Quantum Gravity” invites postdoctoral applications for up to five Heising-Simons Fellows in Quantum Gravity, to begin around September 1, 2025. The goal of this collaboration is to bring together theorists from diverse backgrounds to develop theoretically well-founded proposals of quantum gravity and explore their possible observational signatures.
This Collaboration brings together diverse faculty at four Hub institutions:
Yanbei Chen (Caltech) Ben Freivogel (University of Amsterdam) Steve Giddings (University of California, Santa Barbara) Cynthia Keeler (Arizona State University) Maulik Parikh (Arizona State University) Erik Verlinde (University of Amsterdam) Kathryn Zurek (Caltech).
The ideal candidate will have technical skills to work in gravity and will be interested in exploring new questions related to possible observability of quantum effects in gravity.
Please apply by Dec. 1 to the relevant job listings on academicjobsonline.org (Caltech for US hub institutions; or Amsterdam). More information and links can be found at the link below.
