The Kavli Institute for Theoretical Physics will have several
positions available at the postdoctoral level beginning in September
2009. Appointments will normally be for periods of two years or
longer depending on the promise, breadth of interests, and experience
of the candidate, and on the anticipated scientific programs of the
Institute. A detailed list of the programs
for 2009/2010 is now
available. The KITP encourages qualified individuals from groups
underrepresented in theoretical physics, such as women and minorities,
to apply. Interested persons should submit a resume, a statement of
research interests, and arrange to have three letters of recommendation sent.
NEW INFORMATION: You must now apply for a postdoctoral position over the Internet.
NOTE:
Applications for 2009 will be accepted as of September 1, 2008.
One application will suffice to apply for any position
at the KITP. PLEASE DO NOT SUBMIT MULTIPLE COPIES. Applications to
the UCSB Physics Department should be submitted directly to individual
groups in that department.
The deadline for applications and all related materials
is December 1, 2008. Later applications will be considered only as long
as openings exist.
To proceed with an electronic application, follow these instructions:
Materials Required for a Complete Application
- The online application form
- A resume (i.e., a curriculum vitae including publication list)
- A statement of research interests, and
- Three letters of recommendation (sent directly by referees)
The Application Method
The best method to apply is first fill out the online application form.
All documents can be submitted using the online application. Note that we can
accept only the following formats:
