The Position
This is a key role for a Postdoctoral Fellow or Research Fellow to contribute to research and education agendas of the Research School of Physics. The Postdoctoral Fellow/ Research Fellow is expected to work on an ARC Centre of Excellence grant, in particular on a project to leverage Australian capacity in nuclear and particle physics theory to produce a predictive model of direct detection of WIMPs. It will provide new theoretical guidance to experimental programs of the Centre. Close collaborations between theorists and experimentalists are highly encouraged.
The Person
We are seeking for an early career researcher to undertake independent research in the area of Subatomic Physics. The candidate is expected to conduct pioneering research in generating new knowledge and improving understanding of the nature of Dark matter particles as well as their interaction mechanisms with “normal” matter. Ideal candidate will bring a robust background in nuclear theory, with experience in areas such as Density Functional Theory, the nuclear Shell Model, or Effective Field Theory.
