Group of the Institute for Nuclear Physics at the Johannes Gutenberg
University
Mainz invites applications for two post-doctoral research associate
positions
in hadron/nuclear theory, within the newly established collaborative
research
centre "The Low-Energy Frontier of the Standard Model: from quarks and
gluons to hadrons and nuclei", funded by the German funding agency
DFG. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"
style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; line-height: normal;"><span
style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: "Times","serif";">The
research interests of the group include meson and baryon structure and
phenomenology, chiral perturbation theory, dispersion relation
techniques,
perturbative QCD, soft-collinear effective field theory, precision
electroweak
physics. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"
style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; line-height: normal;"><span
style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: "Times","serif";">The
