Asia Pacific Center for Theoretical Physics (APCTP)
opens a few positions forLeaders of Independent Junior Research Group (JRG) 2021-2
The Asia Pacific Center for Theoretical Physics (APCTP) opens a few positions for Leaders of Independent Junior Research Group (JRG) in theoretical physics and related fields. The APCTP (https://www.apctp.org) is an international center founded in 1996 with the first president, Professor C. N. Yang. We are pursuing the world-leading-level of research in theoretical physics and the training of young scientists in the Asia-Pacific region.
JOB DESCRIPTION
The aim of this position is to strengthen the research capacity of the Center by forming
a new JRG. The Center has 17 member countries and plays a research network center of
the Asia Pacific region in the field of theoretical physics through various academic
activities. We encourage applications in the area of theoretical physics including, but
not limited to, condensed matter physics, astrophysics, particle phenomenology, string
theory, nuclear/hadron physics, and statistical/bio physics. Current JRGs at the Center
can be found at the following link (https://www.apctp.org/sub02/index44.php?mcode=44).
Each JRG leader will be based in Pohang, Korea where the APCTP headquarters is
located, and build his/her own group as an in-house researcher with utter academic
independence guaranteed. Leaders are also expected to promote and take advantage
of our collaborative network with our partner institutions in the Asia Pacific region and
beyond.
REMUNERATION
The position is initially offered for three years, renewable up to two additional years
depending on the research performance and the availability of resources for the
program. An annual gross salary will start from KRW 70,000,000. In addition to the
salary, a rent-free housing, and research grant of KRW 100,000,000 per year will be
provided. The grant can be used for hiring postdoctoral fellows and students, as well as
for covering research activities. The starting date is expected to be September 1, 2021.
The JRG leader will also be appointed as an affiliated Faculty of the POSTECH Physics
Department.
