Full Job Description
The Rudolf Peierls Centre for Theoretical Physics (RPC) at the University of Oxford is pleased to invite applications for the Oxford-Peierls Fellows. These prestigious, three-year postdoctoral fellowships were created in conjunction with the appointment of Prof Shivaji Sondhi to the Wykeham and Leverhulme Professorship of Physics, and are intended both to support the most talented theoretical physicists worldwide at an early stage of their careers and to enrich the intellectual environment of the Centre.
Fellows will receive active mentoring from members of the RPC but will be encouraged and expected to set an independent research agenda in one or more of the research areas of the Centre, broadly construed. To that end, they will have access to substantial travel and research funds and participate fully in the Centre's vibrant programme of visitors and seminars. In conjunction with their appointment, the Fellows will be associated with a college.
Candidates must hold a PhD/DPhil (or close to completion) in Theoretical Physics, or a closely related discipline (it is acceptable to be in the final stages of a PhD/DPhil program but they must have submitted their thesis and defended it successfully in advance of the start of the position, and with sufficient lead time to enable any visa application, if applicable).
