Position Description:
   

The Wisconsin IceCube Particle Astrophysics Center (WIPAC) at the University of Wisconsin–Madison is planning to hire multiple postdocs in areas of theoretical particle astrophysics and cosmology, including those with interests in high-energy astrophysical neutrinos, gamma-rays, and cosmic rays, dark matter, early universe cosmology, and astrophysical tests of physics beyond the Standard Model. Successful applicants will have the opportunity to carry out an active and independent research program in these and related areas.

WIPAC is a center for multi-messenger astrophysics and includes opportunities for cross-collaboration between projects. The postdocs will work closely with WIPAC theory faculty, including Dan Hooper, Ke Fang, and Francis Halzen, as well as WIPAC students, staff scientists, and other postdocs. We have close connections with the theory groups in the UW physics and astronomy departments, including the recent faculty hires of Josh Foster and Nick Stone. WIPAC provides a stimulating environment for scientific research, collaboration, and postdoctoral career development. Both are also engaged in a wide range of outreach activities.

A PhD in physics, astronomy, or a closely related field must be completed before the position begins. Successful applicants will have demonstrated the ability to work both independently and collaboratively and to communicate clearly.

Each position is for three years. To receive full consideration, submissions should be received no later than December 19, 2024. WIPAC and UW are committed to increasing diversity in our field and encourage members of underrepresented populations to apply.

To apply, submit a CV, list of publications, and research statement to postdoc@wipac.wisc.edu. Please also arrange for three letters of recommendation to be sent to the same address. Inquiries can be sent to Christy Lowney (christy.lowney@wisc.edu) or to Dan Hooper (dwhooper@wisc.edu).
