Germany and foreign countries per year. The accelerators in

operation are dedicated to particle physics and research with

synchrotron radiation.

The Zeuthen/Karlsruhe Node of the Research and Training Network EURIDICE invites

applications for a

Postdoctoral Position

in Elementary Particle Theory

This position is funded by the European Research Training Network EURIDICE, HPRN-CT2002-00311, "European Investigations on Dafne and other International Collider Experiments using Effective Theories of Colors and Flavours from the Phi to the Upsilon,".

Information about the general eligibility criteria is available from the European Union webserver (http://www.cordis.lu), via Information for young researchers (http://www.cordis.lu/improving/networks/young.htm) and Eligibility criteria (http://www.cordis.lu/improving/networks/faq.htm#q5).

The activities cover: Electroweak precision physics, (effective) quantum field theory, perturbative and non--perturbative methods, in particular, perturbative QCD and lattice QCD, radiative corrections, precision calculations of fundamental parameters, low/high energy phenomenology and TESLA physics.
You are expected to pursue research in the areas covered by the EURIDICE proposal.

The position is available for 10 month, starting by Spring 2005. The salary and the social benefits correspond to those in German public services.

Deadline for applications is January 15, 2005, later applications may be
