Applications are invited for a Postdoctoral Research Associate at the Higgs  Centre for Theoretical Physics, to work on the mathematical structure of multi-loop scattering amplitudes and on the development of bootstrap methods for computing them.

The Opportunity:

An exciting, positive, creative, challenging and rewarding place to work. The Higgs Centre's goal is to achieve breakthroughs in our basic understanding of the universe. Our work spans a broad range of disciplines, covering all length and time scales. The particle theory group has a very strong ongoing research effort in particle phenomenology, scattering amplitudes, lattice field theory, and cosmology, supported by 17 faculty members, 9 PDRAs, and around 33 graduate students. The group is committed to providing you the support needed to nurture your talent.

The Research Associate will contribute to the Royal Society University Research Fellowship URFR1221233 “Harnessing the Structure of Scattering Amplitudes”. Research activities include developing a better understanding of the mathematical structure of scattering amplitudes and developing more efficient methods for their computation.

Your skills and attributes for success:

·  PhD (or near completion) in Physics, Theoretical Physics or Mathematical Physics.

·  Knowledge of quantum field theory and experience in perturbative calculations.

·  Knowledge of the current research frontier in one or more of the following areas: scattering amplitudes, Feynman integrals, infrared divergences, supersymmetry, positive geometries, the motivic properties of iterated integrals.

·  Experience in delivering research results in an academic context; e.g. a record of peer-reviewed journal and conference presentations.

·  Capability of working independently, exercising a high degree of initiative, and demonstrating a proactive and flexible approach to work.

Application Procedure

Please upload a cover letter, CV and a brief research statement (less than 3 pages). Please include the names and email addresses of 3 referees in your cover letter. Your referees may send their letters in advance to physics- references@ed.ac.ukquoting Job Ref 6276.

Informal enquiries about the position are welcome to Dr Andrew McLeod (a.mcleod@cern.ch) or Prof Einan Gardi (Einan.Gardi@ed.ac.uk).

You will benefit from a competitive reward package and a wide range of staff benefits, which includes a generous holiday entitlement, a defined benefits pension scheme, staff discounts, family friendly initiatives , flexible working and much more. Access our staff benefits page for further information and use our reward calculator to find out the total value of pay and benefits provided.

The University of Edinburgh holds a Silver Athena SWAN award in recognition of our commitment to advance gender equality in higher education. We are members of the Race Equality Charter and we are also Stonewall Scotland Diversity Champions, actively promoting LGBT equality.

If invited for interview you will be required to evidence your right to work in the UK. Further information is available on our right to work webpages.

The University is able to sponsor the employment of international workers in this role. If successful, an international applicant requiring sponsorship to work in the UK will need to satisfy the UK Home Office's English Language requirements and apply for and secure a Skilled Worker Visa.

About Us

As a world-leading research-intensive University, we are here to address tomorrow's greatest challenges. Between now and 2030 we will do that with a values-led approach to teaching, research and innovation, and through the strength of our relationships, both locally and globally.

About the Team

The School of Physics and Astronomy is in the College of Science and Engineering and comprises the Institute for Particle and Nuclear Physics (IPNP), the Institute for Condensed Matter and Complex Systems (ICMCS) and the Institute for Astronomy (IfA). We have around 100 academic staff, over 120 research staff and around 65 professional services staff.

The School of Physics and Astronomy was ranked 4th in the UK and 1st in  Scotland in the Research Excellence Framework (REF) 2021 listing for the quality, scale and breadth of its research by Times Higher Education. Consistently ranked within the top 20 physics departments worldwide, these results confirm the exceptional performance of our staff, our excellent facilities, and our world-leading research.

The School runs undergraduate programmes at BSc and MPhys level in Physics, Mathematical Physics, Theoretical Physics, Computational Physics, Astrophysics and (jointly with the School of Chemistry) Chemical Physics. The undergraduate programme has flexible entry and exit points, creating courses of variable duration and level. The School accepts around 230 new undergraduates into its programmes each year and has current student populations of over 800 undergraduates, 50 taught postgraduates and 220 research postgraduates.

We aim to ensure that our culture and systems support flexible and family- friendly working and recognise and value diversity across all our staff and students. The School has an active programme offering support and professional development for all staff; providing mentoring, training, and networking opportunities.

The School of Physics and Astronomy holds Athena SWAN Silver and IoP Juno Champion awards, in recognition of our commitment to advance gender equality.
