Newswise — Perimeter has existing strengths in the areas of quantum gravity, string theory, quantum information theory, cosmology and foundations of quantum theory. We will consider applications in all of these areas. Exceptional applicants in related areas, such as elementary particle physics and condensed matter physics, are encouraged to apply. The postdoctoral positions are normally for a period of three years. Outstanding candidates may also be considered for a senior postdoctoral position with a five-year term.
If you are interested in applying for these postdoctoral positions, you must apply online at http://www.perimeterinstitute.ca/positions/postdoc.cfm or follow the link from the Institute's main page at http://www.perimeterinstitute.ca
The deadline for postdoctoral applications is NOVEMBER 15, 2006.
As well as completing a short general information form, the online application will require your curriculum vitae, list of publications, and a statement of research interests, prepared as postscript, PDF, Word or plain text files. You must also arrange to have at least three letters of reference sent to Perimeter Institute. There will be an automated e-mail response to your submission; please, do not apply more than once.
Perimeter Institute is located in Waterloo, Canada, and opened in September 2001 as an independent institute supporting research in foundational areas of theoretical physics. We are currently staffed with 64 resident researchers including ten faculty and eight associate members. Additionally, we have a complement of 31 postdoctoral researchers and a very active visitor program including 15 long term visitors with expectations of hosting some 300 scientists throughout this academic year.
