Postdoctoral Fellowship in String Theory

We invite applications for one postdoctoral position on string theory (with emphasis on the AdS/CFT correspondence) at the Institute of Physics of the University of São Paulo (IF-USP), in São Paulo, Brazil.

The position will go until March 2020. The salary is comparable with salaries for similar positions in the US and Europe, as well as a one-time relocation subsidy.

This opportunity is open to candidates of any nationalities. The selected candidate will receive a São Paulo Research Foundation-FAPESP's Post-Doctoral fellowship in the amount of BRL 7.373,10 monthly and a research contingency fund, equivalent to 15% of the annual value of the fellowship which should be spent in items directly related to the research activity. 
The IF-USP string theory group is formed by Victor Rivelles and Diego Trancanelli and maintains close contacts with the nearby group at IFT-UNESP and ICTP-SAIFR (Nathan Berkovits, Andrei Mikhailov, Horatiu Nastase and Pedro Vieira). 

Applicants should send a CV with a list of publications, a brief description of research interests and goals, and at least two letters of recommendation by email to: Diego Trancanelli, Instituto de Fisica, Universidade de São Paulo, C.P. 66318, 05315-970 São Paulo, SP, Brazil.
