Position Description
The T-2 group (Nuclear and Particle Physics, Astrophysics and Cosmology) in the Theoretical Division at Los Alamos National Laboratory invites applications for one or more postdoctoral positions in High Energy Physics, to begin in the Fall of 2023. Candidates are expected to have obtained a PhD in Physics or closely related field by the beginning of the postdoctoral appointment (but no earlier than January 2018 per LANL policy). This position is for 2+1 years, with the third year contingent upon performance and funding.The group has four full time staff members in High Energy Physics (Daniele Alves, Tanmoy Bhattacharya, Michael Graesser, and Rajan Gupta). We conduct research on a broad set of topics, including particle phenomenology, dark matter and astroparticle physics, lattice gauge theory, quantum field theory, quantum information science, cosmology, black hole, and gravitational wave physics. The group also actively engages with colleagues in nuclear physics, astrophysics, experimental high energy physics, and quantum information theory. Candidates in these areas, as well as in other interdisciplinary areas overlapping with high energy physics, are encouraged to apply.
Interested applicants should submit their application (CV, research statement, and three letters of recommendation) to this site by December 5th, 2022, for full consideration.
Exceptionally well qualified candidates may be considered for the Director's Postdoctoral Fellowship and/or LANL's Distinguished Postdoctoral Fellowships (Curie, Feynman, or Oppenheimer). The application deadline to be considered for these postdoctoral fellowships is October 17th, 2022.
For eligibility and salary information, please see . Los Alamos is an equal opportunity employer. Women and minorities are strongly encouraged to apply.
Further inquiries should be sent to Michael Graesser at graesser@lanl.gov
