The Asia Pacific Center for Theoretical Physics (APCTP) opens a few positions for leaders of Independent Junior Research
Group (JRG) in theoretical physics and related fields. The APCTP (https://www.apctp.org), founded in 1996, is a nongovernmental organization aiming for an international center dedicated to excellence in research and the training of young
scientists in the Asia-Pacific region.
JOB DESCRIPTION
These positions are open to strengthen the in-house research program of the Center by forming new JRGs. The Center has
sixteen member countries and forms a research network center of the Asia Pacific region in the field of theoretical physics
through various academic activities. We encourage applications in the area of theoretical physics, including but not limited
to astrophysics, condensed matter physics, nuclear/hadron physics, particle physics, string theory, and statistical physics.
The existing JRGs at the Center can be found at the APCTP homepage (http://www.apctp.org). Each JRG leader is granted
academic independence and encouraged to build his/her own research group. JRG leaders are also expected to promote and
take advantage of the connection with other research centers of the world including the Asia Pacific region.
REMUNERATION
Funding is initially available for three years, renewable up to two additional years depending on the research performance
and the availability of resources for the program. An annual salary, including severance pay, will start from KRW 65,000,000
