Position Description
TRIUMF is Canada's particle accelerator centre, and one of the world's leading laboratories for particle and nuclear physics and accelerator-based science. We are an international centre for scientific discovery and innovation. The lab is located in Vancouver, Canada, on the traditional, ancestral, and unceded territory of the Musqueum First Nation. The TRIUMF Theory Department is currently seeking Postdoctoral Research Fellows to join in the fall of 2026. The Department's research interests include nuclear theory, ab initio many-body methods, nuclear astrophysics, fundamental symmetries, particle phenomenology, particle cosmology, neutrino physics, and hadronic physics. Positions are expected in particle theory (hep-ph), low-energy theoretical nuclear physics (nucl-th), and theoretical nuclear astrophysics (nucl-th, astro-ph). Applicants must have a PhD in theoretical physics, awarded within the past 5 years, or scheduled to be completed prior to the position's start date. The successful candidates will show evidence of, or a strong potential for, the ability to carry out excellent research in an area that is relevant to the TRIUMF research program. The position carries a competitive benefits package and a salary commensurate with training and experience.
