The particle and nuclear theory group at the Physics Department of the
Technical University of Munich (TUM) invites applications for a Ph. D.
position.
We seek candidates with a good background in Quantum Field Theory and
Particle theory. Knowledge of Effective Quantum Field Theories/finite
temperature QCD/Early Universe would be welcome.
The particle and nuclear theory group is lead by Prof. N. Brambilla.
The interests of the group span over a wide range of
topics in particle physics phenomenology and Effective Quantum Field
Theories (quarkonium, heavy quarks, X Y Z exotics, precise calculation of
SM parameters, strongly interacting systems), in physics of the early
Universe (dark matter, leptogenesis) and in physics of heavy ion
collisions (quarkonium and jet suppression) and nonequilibrium physics. We
deal both with perturbative techniques (high order loop calculations) and
nonperturbative methods (Lattice QCD).
For more information on the group research activity see the web page
http://einrichtungen.ph.tum.de/T30f and
http://einrichtungen.ph.tum.de/T30f/research.html
The research activity to be performed by the Ph. D. selected applicant
will regard the physics of early universe, dark matter, heavy Majorana
neutrinos/Leptogenesis, the study of nonequilibrium evolution of heavy
pairs in the early universe on the basis of effective field theories and
open quantum systems and the solution of the related Linblad equations.
The research activity will be performed also inside the Excellence Cluster
group "Origins" (
https://www.origins-cluster.de/) established in Munich,
the Quarkonium Working Group (www.qwg.to.infn.it), the DFG SFB "Symmetries
and Emergences of Structure in QCD", in collaboration with Bonn University
and Chinese research institutions, and the Focus Group on "Effective Field
theories and Lattice" at the Institute of Advanced Studies of the TUM.
The position can start in Fall 2022 and must start in any case by
January 2023. Contact nora.brambilla@ph.tum.de if you want to discuss
the starting date.
Applications should include a CV, a copy of the master/diploma and
bachelor certificates with scores, a brief summary of previous research
activities, and a recommendation letter.
Review of applications will start immediately and will proceed until the
position has been filled.
