Opportunities

We are always looking for motivated researchers to join our group.
Our research focuses on theoretical high-energy physics, including scattering amplitudes, string theory, quantum gravity, and related areas.
We welcome applicants with strong interest and background in theoretical physics, mathematics, or related disciplines.

Postdoctoral Positions

We invite applications for postdoctoral researcher positions in our group.

Research areas include:

• Scattering amplitudes in gauge theory and gravity
• String amplitudes and Worldsheet formula
• Geometry behind the scattering amplitudes
• Holography and conformal field theory
• Observables in AdS/dS spacetime

Requirements:

• PhD in theoretical physics or a closely related field
• Experience in high-energy theory, amplitudes, or mathematical physics

Prospective applicants are encouraged to contact us directly with:

• CV
• List of publications
• Research statements
• At least 2 reference letters

Please apply for this postion via AJO https://academicjobsonline.org/ajo/jobs/31344.

Research Assistant Positions

We also have openings for full-time research assistants (RA).
These positions are suitable for students who plan to pursue a PhD in theoretical physics and would like to strengthen their research background.

Responsibilities:

• Assist with ongoing research projects
• Perform symbolic or numerical computations

Requirements:

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in physics, mathematics, or related areas
• Strong motivation for research in high-energy theory
• Experience with Python/Mathematica/Maple is a plus

Interested candidates may apply by sending:

• CV
• A short statement of interest

Visitors

We welcome visitors (undergraduate, Master, PhD level or Postdoc) who wish to spend a short-term research period in our group.

Visitors can participate in:

• Research projects in amplitudes and string theory
• Group meetings and seminars
• Collaborative exploration of new ideas

Students with strong background in QFT, general relativity, or mathematical physics are especially encouraged.

If you are interested, please contact us with:

• CV
• Expected visiting period
• Brief research background
