Company Overview

The Quantum Field Theory group at the University of Southern Denmark is a leading research center in theoretical physics, hosted by the Department of Mathematics and Computer Science and the Danish Institute for Advanced Study.

We are a dynamic team committed to pushing the boundaries of knowledge in our field.

Salary and Benefits

As a postdoctoral researcher at the University of Southern Denmark, you can expect a competitive salary, commensurate with your experience and qualifications.

The positions are funded by the Carlsberg Foundation through the Semper Ardens grant 'Solving Quantum Field Theory', held by Professor and Director Francesco Sannino.

You will be employed in accordance with the agreement between the Ministry of Finance and AC (the Danish Confederation of Professional Associations).

Job Description

We are seeking a highly motivated and talented theoretical physicist to join our team as a postdoctoral researcher.

Your primary responsibility will be to work on the topics related to the project 'Solving Quantum Field Theory', which aims to develop new approaches to quantum field theory and its applications.

This is an exciting opportunity to contribute to cutting-edge research and collaborate with a team of renowned experts in the field.

  1. Quantum Field Theory: Conformal field theory and/or conformal window of gauge theories, semiclassical methods, effective field theories, renormalization group, high order perturbation theory, generalized symmetries.
  2. Lattice Field Theory: Conformal window and near conformal dynamics of strongly coupled theories, novel lattice methodologies (including applications of quantum computing and artificial intelligence), lattice field theory for standard model physics and beyond including matter in extreme conditions.
  3. (Quantum) Gravity: Rigorous approaches to (quantum) gravity including string theory, precise results in (quantum) black hole and wormhole physics including entanglement.
Benefits

The positions are initially for two years, with the possibility of extension based on performance and funding availability.

The successful applicant will have access to state-of-the-art research facilities and resources, as well as opportunities for professional development and collaboration with international experts.

The starting date should ideally be September 2025, but we are flexible and willing to accommodate the right candidate's needs.
