Research Associates: 2013-2015 Round of Applications Ref: 2247

Applications are invited for posts at the postdoctoral level to start in October 2013. These are two-year Postdoctoral Research Associate positions funded by the STFC and by Durham University. The successful applicants will have excellent research records in any area of particle physics phenomenology. They will be able to work independently and with other members of the IPPP and will have an important role to play in maintaining the Institute as a world-class research centre and a key facility for the UK particle physics community. They will also have a commitment to teaching and will take part in the Departments undergraduate teaching programme at a level of two hours per week during term time.

The appointments will be for a period of two years. The post is at grade 7, with an initial salary in the range £30,122 - £35,938.

Applicants are formally required to apply through the university's on-line application system (reference 2247).

To expedite consideration by IPPP, candidates are requested to also upload their application through Academic Jobs Online.

The next calls for application are for Fellowships to start on or around October 2012 and they have not been advertised yet. If your profile and interests match our activities, we would be very interested to hear from you. The best initial approach is to contact a CPT Maths staff member in your broad area of interest, informally. We will require a cv and a research statement , to be submitted to our Research Committee via your CPT contact a month before the closing date. In this way we can ensure that it is appropriate that the proposed research be carried out within CPT, and we can offer advice that may increase the application's chance of success. Please note that in some cases the CPT may only put forward a limited number of candidates, and in such cases it will be necessary for us to preselect the best applicants.

Applications for EPSRC/STFC Advanced and Postdoctoral Fellowships will be submitted via the JeS System, and it will be necessary to register for a JeS account. The on-line forms require input from the applicant and from Durham University, so completion well in advance of the deadlines set by the Research Councils is strongly recommended. The EPSRC closing dates for the 2010/2011 round have now passed. STFC operates an advanced fellowship scheme for researchers who do not have a permanent academic position or a permanent research position. The closing date for the 2010/2011 round of STFC advanced fellowships has now passed. The STFC postdoctoral fellowship scheme will not operate from the 2010/2011 round.

Applications for Royal Society University Research Fellowships will be submitted via the e-GAP system, and it will be necessary to register for an e-GAP account. The on-line forms require input from the applicant and from Durham University, so completion well in advance of the deadline set by the Royal Society is strongly recommended.
