style="font-family:tahoma,sans-serif;font-size:small"></span>Swansea
Particle Physics Theory and Cosmology (PPTC)
research group has

<p class="MsoNormal"><span
style="font-family:"Helvetica Neue""> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span
style="font-family:"Helvetica Neue"">Some
of these may be of interest to the ECT* community:
three of these openings will support specific
themes of the research programme in Lattice Field
Theory (namely, QCD in extreme conditions,
strongly interacting dynamics beyond the standard
model and the interface between lattice field
theory and machine learning), the others being in
QFT/Strings/Black Holes and Holography (2 posts)
and Cosmology Theory (1 post). The full list of
the openings is available at the URL </span></p>

<span class="gmail_default"
style="font-family:tahoma,sans-serif;font-size:small"></span>PPTC
group at Swansea comprises 13 academics and has a
strong research programme in Quantum Field
Theories, Strings, Black Holes, Holography,
Cosmology Theory, Amplitudes, QCD spectroscopy and
Lattice Field Theory. The Lattice Field Theory
subgroup comprises Gert Aarts, Chris Allton,
Timothy Burns, Biagio Lucini and Maurizio Piai,
and has wide-ranging interests including QCD in
extreme conditions, beyond the standard model and
machine learning. The successful candidates will
join a vibrant and stimulating interlinked
research environment offering exciting
opportunities for collaborating, developing new
ideas and establishing new connections. </span></p>

PDRA will join the research programme undertaken
by Gert Aarts, Chris Allton, and Tim Burns, as
part of the FASTSUM collaboration, which covers
QCD at finite temperature and density, with
interest in the behaviour of hadrons below and
above the deconfinement transition, hadron
spectroscopy in general, transport, and other
observables of interest for heavy-ion
phenomenology. The project will include both
analytical calculations and numerical development.
The ideal candidate for the post will have a
strong background in lattice field theory at
either zero or nonzero temperature. </span></p>

PDRA will join the research programme led by Gert
Aarts and Biagio Lucini, which covers topics such
as machine learning applications to the study of
observables near phase transition points, the
inverse renormalization group, persistent homology
methods for identifying topologically nontrivial
field configurations and lattice field theory
derived machine learning methods. The project will
include both analytical calculations and software
development. The ideal candidate for the post will
have a strong background in lattice field theory
and/or statistical mechanics with ideally
demonstrable experience in machine learning.
Candidates with a background in topological data
analysis or machine learning willing to learn
lattice field theory will also be considered.
Given the range of skills considered, candidates
are invited to provide in their application full
details about their previous relevant experience
and their expertise. </span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span
style="font-family:"Helvetica Neue"">The
PDRA will join the research programme led by
Biagio Lucini and Maurizio Piai, working on new
strongly coupled realizations of composite
dynamics and its applications, which include for
example composite Higgs models, dilaton-Higgs
models, top partial compositeness, quasi-conformal
dynamics, strongly interacting models of dark
matter. The ideal candidate for the post has a
strong background in theoretical particle physics,
and previous experience with programming and
running lattice calculations on modern, parallel
computing facilities. Familiarity with current
trends in extensions of the Standard Model is
desirable, as is expertise with effective field
theory techniques, and with more formal
theoretical ideas, such as those of gauge/gravity
dualities. The project will include both a
software development component and a physics
analysis one, hence candidates are invited to
provide in their application technical details
about their previous experience. </span></p>
