Position Description

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, 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.

Individuals interested in applying for a post-doctoral position with the LANL HEP theory group should submit their application (CV, research statement, and three letters of recommendation) to this site by Friday, December 6th, 2024, for full consideration.

LANL offers Distinguished Postdoctoral Fellowships (Curie, Feynman, or Oppenheimer) and Directors funded postdoc positions through a lab-wide competitive selection process. The Distinguished fellows are selected once a year. To have enough time to assemble the LANL specific package, the deadline for submitting complete applications is September 15 of that year.

Directors funded postdocs are selected four times a year and the deadlines for submission, looking ahead, are December 6, 2024; March 15, 2025; June 15, 2025; and September 15, 2025.
