We are opening three two-year Research Associate (Postdoc) positions in the
Theoretical Particle Physics and Cosmology (TPPC) Group of the Department of
Physics at King's College London: see http://inspirehep.net/record/1634785


One postdoctoral position is funded by the group's STFC Grant to carry out
research on particle astrophysics and cosmology, including both theoretical
model building and phenomenological consequences, particularly concerning
models of dark matter and inflation.

The other two positions are funded by the ERC Grant of Malcolm Fairbairn to
carry out research in a number of areas including Dark Matter particle
phenomenology beyond the Standard Model and the behaviour of the electroweak
sector in the early Universe. We will also be receptive if you are doing
research into astrophysical probes of dark matter of all kinds including
galactic structure.

We are particularly interested in those who are open to interacting with
TPPC group members working on particle physics beyond the Standard Model,
particle astrophysics, gravitational physics and applications of theoretical
physics. Senior members of the TPPC Group include Bobby Acharya, Jean
Alexandre, Diego Blas (from February 2018), John Ellis, Malcolm Fairbairn,
Eugene Lim, Nick Mavromatos, Chris McCabe, Mairi Sakellariadou, Sarben
Sarkar and Helvi Witek.

The deadline for applications is midnight UK time on 6th December 2017, and
interviews are scheduled to be held in the week starting 11th December 2017.

For an informal discussion to find out more about the role please contact
either Prof. Malcolm Fairbairn (malcolm.fairbairn@kcl.ac.uk) or Prof. John
Ellis (john.ellis@cern.ch)
