Position Description
We invite applications for a joint postdoctoral position in particle theory phenomenology between Cornell University (Ithaca, NY) and the Weizmann Institute of Science (Israel). The research program focuses on physics beyond the Standard Model (BSM), including the hierarchy problem, naturalness, dark matter (with particular emphasis on the ultralight mass regime), the precision frontier, quantum sensing, nuclear clocks, and Higgs physics. The appointment is expected to be for a total duration of four years, structured as one year at Cornell followed by three years at the Weizmann Institute. During the Weizmann appointment, there will be opportunities for extended research visits to collaborating institutions in Europe or the United States, with Cornell being a particular focus. The successful candidate will be appointed in the particle theory groups at both Cornell and Weizmann and should have, or be about to obtain, a Ph.D. in particle theory. Applications will be considered only if submitted electronically via the AJO webpage.Application Materials Required:
Submit the following items online at this website to complete your application:
- Cover letter
- Curriculum Vitae
- Research statement
- Publication list
- Three reference letters (to be submitted online by the reference writers on this site )
And anything else requested in the position description.
