Nanjing, China

The newly established Center for the Cross-disciplinary Research of Space Science and Quantum-technologies (CROSS-Q), College of Physics, Nanjing University of Aeronautics and Astronautics, China, has openings for faculty positions (junior and senior) in the field of gravitation with focus on black hole physics (broadly defined) and cosmology. Special considerations will be given to:

[1] Candidates with a strong background in cross-disciplinary research with space science and/or quantum physics, e.g., testing gravity theories or aspects of gravitational physics in space-based experiments such as satellite platforms, effects of gravitational fields on quantum states or quantum information etc.

[2] Candidates with specialties in early universe cosmology or primordial black holes. A successful candidate should have a strong theoretical background, but preferably should also have some experience working with cosmological data and/or simulations.

[3] Candidates with specialties in quantum aspects and thermodynamics of black holes and gravity in general. Special considerations will be given to candidates with research experience in the phenomenology of possible experimental/observational signatures in astrophysics, cosmology or laboratory settings.

[4] Candidates with experience in testing gravity theories or searching for quantum gravity signatures in the contexts of astrophysics, such as compact stars, gravitational waves etc.
