About the position

Position Description

The Theoretical Physics Group at the Shing-Tung Yau Center of Southeast University invites applications for postdoctoral positions starting in 2027. Candidates in all research areas of high energy and mathematical physics are welcome, with preference given to those whose interests overlap with our current group members.

Our center is a research institute in mathematics and physics, located in central Nanjing, China. The current faculty members are Jie Gu, Yunfeng Jiang, Zhijin Li, Hai Lin, Zhengwen Liu, Tadashi Okazaki, Ryo Suzuki, Qiang Wen, Jianfei Xu and Chi Zhang. Our research interests include: gauge/gravity dualities, supersymmetric gauge theory, conformal bootstrap, scattering amplitudes, Feynman integrals, gravitational-wave physics, perturbative QCD, collider physics, integrability, quantum information, topological strings and resurgence. We maintain close collaborations with faculty in the School of Mathematics. We are looking to fill one or two postdoc positions in theoretical elementary particle physics. Applicants working on multi-loop computations, perturbative QCD and collider physics are particularly encouraged to apply. More information can be found on the center's official page (https://yauc.seu.edu.cn) and the Theoretical Physics Group website (https://yaucseu.github.io).

The postdoctoral appointment is for 3 years, with an annual review. Salaries range from 200,000–300,000 RMB (approx. 28,000–42,000 USD) per year before tax, depending on qualifications. Benefits include national health insurance and postdoctoral housing.

Applicants should submit a cover letter, curriculum vitae, list of publications, and research statement. Three letters of recommendation must be submitted via Academic Jobs Online. Applications received by December 31, 2026, will receive full consideration, although late applications may be considered until the position is filled.
