Faculty Position in Collider physics theory at T. D. Lee Institute, Shanghai, China – Tsung-Dao Lee Institute

The Tsung-Dao Lee Institute (TDLI) of Shanghai Jiao Tong University (http://tdli.sjtu.edu.cn) invites applications for a tenure-track or tenured faculty (“Fellow”) position work in the area of theoretical studies of new physics beyond the Standard Model, focusing in particular on the phenomenology at the energy frontier and related facilities. This position is also a joint appointment at the School of Physics and Astronomy (SPA) (https://www.physics.sjtu.edu.cn/en/). Successful candidate is expected to play a major role in developing a rigorous program in testing the standard model and searching for new physics beyond, and work closely with experimental groups in related areas.

TDLI, established in 2016, is a national research institute conducting research in particle physics, astrophysics and quantum physics. Shanghai Jiao Tong University (SJTU) is the contractor and trustee of TDLI, and is in charge of the operation of TDLI. TDLI has an active visitor program, and organizes many topical workshops and conferences each year to create a scientifically stimulating environment. About 40% of the researchers are international, and English is the working language of the institute.

The TDLI particle and nuclear physics division has a rich particle phenomenological program in particle physics, astrophysics and cosmology. We works closely with the Institute of Particle and Nuclear Physics (INPAC, https://inpac.physics.sjtu.edu.cn/en/) at SJTU, and also with the astrophysics division, particularly in the area of astro-particle physics and cosmology. Fellows at all levels at TDLI are expected to carry out independent forefront research and supervise students (both Ph.D. and undergraduate students), and to teach at all levels with reduced teaching load. The positions come with comprehensive university offer packages for faculty, including a highly competitive salary, start-up grant, generous housing subsidies, medical insurance and retirement benefits.

The applications are open to researchers of any nationality. Applicants should submit their applications at They should upload a cover letter, curriculum vitae (including a publication list), a research and teaching statement (four-page maximum). At least five reference letters should be submitted online at the same website. For other inquires please send an email to jung49@sjtu.edu.cn.

For full consideration, all application material should be received before Dec. 20, 2024. The search will remain open until the positions are filled.
