2022-5 Recruitment Announcement for Senior research fellow positions at the Center for Theoretical Physics of the Universe

The Center for Theoretical Physics of the Universe (CTPU) (http://ctpu.ibs.re.kr) at Institute for Basic Science (http://www.ibs.re.kr), South Korea, invites applications for researcher positions in Theoretical High Energy Physics, Cosmology, and String Theory, which can start anytime in March - September (later time is negotiable), 2023. The initial appointment will be for 2 years, and can be extended for an additional year subject to the performance review and funding situation*.

The research group at the CTPU involves 7 faculty members (Kiwoon Choi, Jai-chan Hwang, Sanghyeon Chang, Sang Hui Im, Seung-Joo Lee, Tae Hyun Jung, and Seokhoon Yun), as well as 2 YSF fellow and 14 postdoctoral research fellows**. We also have affiliate faculty members who are actively working with our group members. The official language at the center is English.
Research interests of our group cover broad areas of theoretical high energy physics and cosmology, including physics beyond the Standard Model, collider phenomenology, dark matter, early Universe cosmology, large scale structure of the Universe, supersymmetric gauge fields theories, and string compactifications as well as their phenomenological consequences.. We have strong ties to the cosmology group at KASI (http://cosmology.kasi.re.kr). We also have close relations with the experimental centers hosted by IBS: the Center for Axion and Precision Physics Research (http://capp.ibs.re.kr) and the Center for Underground Physics (http://cupweb.ibs.re.kr).

Applications should include CV, publication list, research statement, Consent to Collection and Use of Personal Information / Application for IBS(attached) , and at least three letters of recommendation. For full consideration, application materials including the letters should be submitted by December 2, 2022, through Academic Jobs Online.(https://academicjobsonline.org/ajo/jobs/23570)
