The group led by Marina Marinkovic at the Institute of Theoretical
Physics (ITP), at ETH Zürich invites applications for postdoctoral
positions in computational physics with a focus on lattice gauge
theories for autumn 2021. The initial appointment is for two years,
with an opportunity of one year extension subject to satisfactory
performance and mutual agreement. We are flexible to accommodate an
earlier start date as well.

The research interests of the group include various aspects of
computational physics and particle phenomenology investigated through
the prism of lattice gauge theories (LGT), as well as interface of LGT
with quantum information science and machine learning. Part of the
group activities will be dedicated towards supporting the planned
MUonE experiment at CERN. As an appointed postdoctoral researcher you
are expected to contribute to the ongoing research projects of the
High Performance Computational Physics Lab, manage your own academic
research and administrative activities, adapt existing and develop new
research methodologies, disseminate results at specialized workshops
and conferences, and actively participate in the academic life of the
Institute for Theoretical Physics at ETH Zürich. Candidates must have
a PhD in theoretical physics, computer science or related fields at
the time of the appointment and ideally should have experience in LGT
and numerical simulations. Strong interest in quantum computing and/or
AI will be highly valuable.

To apply please submit a curriculum vitae, list of publications and
statement of research interests and plans until 16 December
2020. Applications should be submitted electronically in a single pdf
file via the on-line submission platform:
https://jobs.itp.phys.ethz.ch/postdoc/ . Please also arrange for three
letters of recommendation to be written on your behalf. Referees will
be asked to upload the letters following your application.

ETH Zurich is an equal opportunity and family friendly employer. ETH
Zurich invests in programs which support students, doctoral students,
postdocs and other young female scientists in their career
development. All candidates will be evaluated based on their merits
and qualifications, without regard to gender, sexual orientation,
race, age, religion, disability etc. Candidates from underrepresented
and traditionally disadvantaged backgrounds are particularly
encouraged to apply.
