Applications are invited for a postdoctoral research associate in Theoretical Physics, in the area of beyond the Standard Model physics, with an emphasis on the theory and phenomenology of possible new light particles including, for example, axions and axion-like-particles (previous experience in this specific area is not essential). You should have a PhD (prior to start date) in theoretical particle physics or a closely related subject.

The position is part of the project ¿Quantum Sensors for the Hidden Sector¿. Although primarily based in the String and Beyond Standard Model Phenomenology Cluster at the University of Liverpool, the successful candidate will be strongly encouraged to work with all of the theory members of the collaboration: Dr Edward Hardy (Liverpool), Professor John March-Russell (Oxford), Professor Subir Sarkar (Oxford), Dr Stephen West (Royal Holloway), and to develop interactions with the experimental members of the group.

The School of Physical Sciences is an Athena SWAN Silver Award holder and is committed to encouraging, developing and supporting women in their research and academic careers. We are working to create an inclusive environment which values a diverse workforce and we recognise that many individuals value flexibility in their work/life balance. We strongly encourage applications from groups underrepresented within our workforce, in particular women. The post has Full-Time or Part-Time availability (please specify your preference in your application) and is available to start in October 2021, although there is some flexibility, and it is for 24 months.

The Quantum Sensors for the Hidden Sector Collaboration, webpage: https://qshs.shef.ac.uk , is an STFC funded project to search for axions and axion-like particles using advanced quantum electronics and quantum measurement techniques. The collaboration works with the Axion Dark Matter Experiment (ADMX), which currently leads the world in sensitivity to dark matter axions. We aim to develop a novel high frequency axion target to be incorporated into the existing ADMX apparatus, as well as developing our own cutting edge research instrumentation for axion and ALP research in the United Kingdom. We seek postdoctoral researchers in support of this program with experience in a range of areas across quantum electronics, microwave electronics, cryogenics, magnetic field physics, quantum systems theory, and particle theory and phenomenology. They will join the collaboration as it embarks on this exciting new programme of cutting edge fundamental research in the UK.
