Research Associate in Particle Physics: Particle
2 weeks ago
Applications are invited for an STFC-funded Postdoctoral Research Associate position to join the University of Manchester Particle Physics Group to work on Particle Cosmology and Beyond the Standard Model Physics, and the interfaces between them. The successful applicant should have, or be about to obtain, a PhD (or equivalent) in particle physics or a related discipline and research interests which match those of the group.
The successful applicant will be expected to contribute significantly to the research activities of the group in and across the areas of Particle Cosmology and Beyond the Standard Model Physics. This includes, but is not limited to the following topics:
- topological defects, including sphalerons, vortons and cosmic strings;
- the two-Higgs-doublet-model (2HDM);
- cosmology and collider implications of axion models;
- models of dark matter, including ultra-light scalar models and supersymmetric scenarios;
- models of dark energy;
- and extended theories of gravity, capitalising in all areas on links between theory, experiment and observation.
The successful applicant will be part of the Manchester Particle Physics Group, which consists of eight academic staff members, including Mrinal Dasgupta, Jeff Forshaw, Jonathan Gaunt, Mike Seymour, (with research interests mainly in QCD), Eleni Vryonidou (QCD & BSM phenomenology), Richard Battye (Cosmology), Apostolos Pilaftsis (BSM and particle cosmology) and Peter Millington (QFT and particle cosmology). We also host a Stephen Hawking research fellow, Stefan Schacht (flavour physics).
The successful applicant will also be able to benefit from direct interaction with the Manchester Experimental Particle Physics Group and the Jodrell Bank Centre for Astrophysics.
