The University of Sussex invites applications for a full-time postdoctoral position in High Energy Theory based at the Department of Physics and Astronomy of the University of Sussex. This position is funded by the UK Network of clocks for measuring the stability of the fundamental constants’ consortium (QSNET). The consortium aims to build a network of dissimilar clocks to search for Spatio-temporal changes in fundamental constants. Our partners in the network are the National Physical Laboratory, Imperial College London, and the University of Birmingham.  The position is devoted to theoretical research in high energy physics broadly defined and particularly interested in applicants with broad research experience beyond the standard model physics, particle-astrophysics, including dark matter, and cosmology and willing to work in close contact with atomic, molecular, and optical (AMO) experimentalists. The postholder will work under the supervision of Prof. Xavier Calmet.

Eligibility

• Normally educated to doctoral level, or other equivalent qualification, or appropriate level of experience, as appropriate to the discipline
• Evidence of engagement in high-quality research activity.
• Excellent presentation skills, with the ability to communicate effectively, both orally and in writing, with students, colleagues and external audiences.
• Ability to work individually on own initiative and without close supervision, and as part of a team.

Salary starting at £33,797 to £40,322 per annum, pro-rata if part-time. Contract is for a fixed-term for up to 36 months, or 30 April 2024, whichever earliest.
