Strings, branes and boundary conformal field theory

Ziel

The Theoretical Physics Group at King's College London invites applications for postgraduate fellowships to be held at the EU Marie Curie Training Site "Strings, Branes and Boundary Conformal Field Theory".
The research topics covered by this programme include the following:
* strings and branes: their geometric and their world-sheet descriptions (calibrations resp. boundary CTF)
* branes in curved backgrounds (in particular group manifolds and Calabi-Yau spaces)
* non-commutativity in brane physics and string theory
* non-BPS branes
* branes in supergravity and M-theory
* higher-dimensional super conformal field theories and AdS/CFT correspondence
* (boundary) CFT and two-dimensional integrable QFTs, structure of RG flows. Members of the King's College Theory Group include Matthias Gaberdiel, Paul Howe, Neil Lambert, George Papadopoulos, Andreas Recknagel, Alice Rogers, Gerard Watts and Peter West, the postdoctoral fellows Kilian Koepsell and Frederik Roose, and about seven graduate students. The Marie Curie Training Site programme will cover stays lasting from 3 to 12 months (with slight preference given to longer stays). Candidates must be citizens of an EU or associated state, and must be registered for a Ph. D. in a country other than the UK. Financial benefits for the fellows will include a monthly allowance of 1200 Euro, reimbursement of travel costs and tuition fees. Those interested should contact Dr Andreas Recknagel (e-mail anderl@mth.kcl.ac.uk).For further details, see also www.mth.kcl.ac.uk. Equality of opportunity is College Policy. Female candidates are particularly encouraged to apply.
