The Center for Theoretical Physics of the Universe, Cosmology, Gravity, and Astroparticle Physics Group (CTPU-CGA) at Institute for Basic Science (http://www.ibs.re.kr/ctpu-cga), South Korea, invites applications for Postdoctoral Research Associate positions in Theoretical Cosmology, Gravity and Astro(particle) physics, which can start any time as long as all requirements are met at the point of starting time. The initial appointment will be for 1 years, and can be extended for an additional year subject to the performance review and funding situation*.  Any field and/or topic is welcome as long as it is related to cosmology, gravity, and (astro)particle physics. For example, observational cosmology, dark matter, neutrino physics, quantum information, and so on are also welcome in addition to standard theoretical cosmology, gravity, and particle physics.


We recently initiated a new center called CTPU-CGA in CTPU led by the director, Masahide Yamaguchi, from March 2023. We will jointly organize the CTPU with another center CTPU-PTC led by the director, Kiwoon Choi, but the budget, organization, and recruitment are completely independent. The official language at the center is English. Research interests of our group cover broad areas of theoretical cosmology, gravity, astroparticle physics, and related areas.

Applications should include CV, publication list, research statement, Consent to Collection and Use of Personal Information / Application for IBS (download on IBS job Board), and at least three letters of recommendation. For full consideration, application materials including the letters should be submitted by June 27th, 2025, through Academic Jobs Online.

 * This recruitment is conducted outside the standard recruitment season and is primarily intended for candidates who were unable to apply through the regular track. As a result, the contract period is relatively short—initially one year, with the possibility of an extension for an additional year in exceptional cases. Extension beyond one year are not typically anticipated.
Successful candidates are therefore encouraged to actively pursue regular postdoctoral opportunities, including future openings through our center’s standard recruitment process, even after joining our center.
