The Asia Pacific Center for Theoretical Physics (APCTP) opens a few positions for the Young Scientist Training program at the postdoctoral fellow level in theoretical physics and related fields.

The APCTP (https://www.apctp.org), founded in 1996, is a non-governmental organization aiming for an international center dedicated to excellence in research and the training of young scientists in the Asia-Pacific region.

The YST program is for young physicists who are at an early stage of their research career and provides the opportunity for the best early stage post-doctoral researchers from all over the world for a period of up to two years. All subject areas in theoretical physics are eligible. The APCTP offers YST fellows an ideal environment for research and potential collaborations with in-house senior academics (Junior Research Groups), POSTECH faculty & members, visiting scholars from Korea and abroad, and participants of various scientific programs organized at the APCTP or at APCTP’s member and partner institutes.

Funding is initially available for one year, renewable for a second year depending on the research performance and the availability of resources for the program. An annual salary, including severance pay, is in the range KRW 32,500,000 to KRW 40,000,000 depending on research experience and qualification. In addition to the salary, some research expenses and part of relocation costs, KRW 3,000,000/year are provided. The starting date is expected to be November. 1, 2018.

Please send the application package including CV, publication list, short description of research accomplishments, future plans, at least two recommendation letters respectively from referees to yst@apctp.org by August 11, 2018 (UTC +09:00). The letters of recommendation should be arranged to be sent directly from the referees to the above email address by the application deadline.
