Description:
The Institute of Physics at the Academia Sinica invites applications from outstanding theoretical scientists for several tenure-track junior and tenured senior faculty positions in the Medium and High-energy Physics Group to enhance and develop its research programs, and to initiate and lead new directions.
Academia Sinica is the leading basic research institution in Taiwan, government funded and made up of an increasingly international community of scholars. The Group covers all major areas of nuclear, particle, astroparticle physics, and cosmology. In particular, there are active theory programs on heavy favor physics and CP-violation, perturbative QCD, neutrino astrophysics, beyond standard model phenomenology, early universe, and quantum gravity. We conduct an active experimental and instrumentation program on collider, hadron structure, cosmic rays, neutrinos, dark matter and beyond standard model physics. We are key participants in international collaborations like AMS, CDEX, ATLAS/LHC, COMPASS/CERN, LEPS/SPring-8, SeaQuest/FNAL, and KAGRA while leading a domestic TEXONO experiment on reactor neutrinos. More information about the Medium and High-energy Group can be retrieved via http://www.phys.sinica.edu.tw/index.php?eng=T.
The positions can be made available in related or new research areas, and at all faculty levels to match the candidates' research interests and experiences. Successful candidates will be granted an initial start-up research funding support. Faculty members of Academia Sinica can do teaching and supervise graduate students in the Country's research universities, under a voluntary basis. Applicants should submit their curriculum vitae, research interests and plans, as well as names and contact information of five referees. Materials compiled in a single pdf file are preferred and can be uploaded via https://goo.gl/pjCjtZ.
Inquiries can be forwarded to:
