Open Position Post-doctoral position at the Theory Group, IFAE

The Theory group at IFAE invites outstanding young researchers to apply for a post-doctoral position.

IFAE is a worldwide-recognized center for fundamental research in physics, including Particle Physics, Astroparticle Physics and Cosmology, and provides an international, dynamic and competitive environment for training of young researchers. IFAE is one of the few Spanish research institutes awarded twice the Severo Ochoa distinction for excellence on research.

The research topics of our group include astroparticle physics, cosmology, effective field theories, electroweak symmetry breaking in and beyond the Standard Model, extra dimensions, flavour physics, heavy quark physics, and new physics at the electroweak and GUT scales.

Members of IFAE and the UAB physics department working in Theoretical Particle Physics include R. Escribano, J.R. Espinosa, M. Jamin, E. Masso, J. Matias, S. Peris, A. Pineda, A. Pomarol, O. Pujolas and M. Quiros, as well as several postdocs and PhD students. Further information about the institute can be found at http://www.ifae.es
