Description :

The Southampton High Energy Physics group has a three-year Early Stage Researcher (ESR) position leading to the award of PhD, starting from 1 September 2020. 

You will perform research in Theoretical Particle Physics in the general area of theories beyond the standard model of particle physics and flavour physics, with particular relevance to theories of neutrino masses and early universe cosmology. During the first year, you will have the opportunity to take part optionally in PhD level training courses in Particle Physics and Cosmology which are designed to give a solid grounding in quantum field theory and group theory, as well as the Standard Model and beyond, but is primarily expected to begin a three-year research programme under the supervision of Professor Steve King.

The ESR positions include at least a long secondment in another European beneficiary, plus shorter stays in our partner organisations: at least at one major world laboratory, and at one of our private sector partners. ESRs are expected to participate actively in the yearly international workshop and school organized by the network. The ESRs will also be involved in outreach activities

The post is funded by the "HiDDeN" network, which focuses on Neutrino and Dark Matter phenomenology and their connection. The network involves nodes in several European countries and its associated partners extend to non-European countries.
