Two-year positions may be renewed for a third year depending on performance and continued funding.

The successful candidates must possess a PhD or equivalent in theoretical physics, an excellent research track record, strong written and oral communication skills, and extensive computer programming experience. Candidates should submit their curriculum vitae, a two-page statement of research plans addressing one or more of the above research foci, names and contact details for four referees, and a copy of the best publication authored or co-authored by the candidate so far.
