Program Description
Applications are invited for some Ph. D. positions funded by the ERC (European Research Council) 'EFT-XYZ' (Effective Field Theories to understand and predict the Nature of the XYZ Exotic Hadrons) project-advanced-ERC-2023 of Nora Brambilla at the Technical University of Munich. We look for ambitious candidates with a strong drive and desire to work on one or more of these areas: quantum field theories and effective quantum field theories, lattice QCD, non-equilibrium evolution in quantum field theory, finite temperature QCD, phenomenology of XYZ, higher order perturbative calculations inside effective field theories. The particle and nuclear theory group at the TUM School of Natural science is lead by Prof. N. Brambilla and Prof. A. Vairo. The interests of the group span a wide range of topics in particle physics phenomenology and effective field theories (quarkonium, heavy quarks, precise calculation of SM parameters, strongly interacting systems), physics of the early Universe (dark matter, leptogenesis), 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 https://users.ph.nat.tum.de/T30f/ 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 (https://users.ph.nat.tum.de/T30f/), the Focus Group on "Effective Field theories and Lattice" at the Institute of Advanced Studies of the TUM, the Munich Data Science Institute, the TUMQCD lattice collaboration and the Excellence Cluster "Munich Center for Quantum Science and Technology".Application Materials Required:
