The announcement can be found at inspirehep.net/record/1711389

We are looking for an excellent candidate for a postdoctoral position at the Van Swinderen Institute, University of Groningen (https://www.rug.nl/research/vsi/), with a background in either:

  1. higher derivative gravity (in particular infinite derivative gravity), quantum gravity,
  2. blackhole physics, in particular compact objects which are blackhole mimickers, and their testable features in gravitational wave templates, such as quasi normal modes, echoes, tidal effects, etc.,
  3. field theory expertise in higher derivatives, string field theory, higher derivative gravity and/or higher spin theories.

The duration of the position will be (1+1) years.

Staring Date: 01-09-2019 or 01-10-2019 ( negotiable )

Deadline for application: 01-03-2019
