Job description:

The Institute of Quantum Matter at South China Normal University (SCNU) has up to three postdoctoral positions. The postdocs are expected to work closely with the QCD group members including Profs. Bo Feng, Hongxi Xing, Tongzhi Yang at SCNU.

We provide internationally competitive salary for these postdoctoral fellows.

The position is for a duration of two years, with a possible extension for a third year, and a high potential to be converted to a faculty member at SCNU for outstanding performance. The start date is provisionally Fall 2026, with flexibility to start earlier. Applicants are expected to have Ph.D. in theoretical nuclear or particle physics by the beginning of the postdoctoral appointment. The research interests of the group include but are not limited to hadron physics (QCD structure of the nucleon and spin physics), QCD collider physics (jet and jet substructure), scattering amplitude and high order perturbative QCD calculations, as well as the application of quantum computing in high energy and nuclear physics.

Interested applicants should submit:

1. a curriculum vitae including a list of publications;
2. at least two reference letters;
3. a statement of research interest.
