Position Description:

The Boston University (BU) Department of Physics invites applications for a postdoctoral associate in the high-energy theory and cosmology groups, working with Prof. Hongwan Liu.

We seek candidates working in high-energy theory and/or cosmology/astroparticle physics, broadly construed. Successful candidates will be part of both the rapidly growing BU cosmology community (https://sites.bu.edu/cosmology), and the high-energy theory group (https://www.bu.edu/physics/research/theoretical-particle-physics/). Physics department faculty members of these groups currently include Dillon Brout, Richard Brower, Liam Fitzpatrick, Ami Katz, and Martin Schmaltz.

Candidates should have a Ph.D. in physics, astronomy or a related subject prior to starting the appointment. Applicants should submit an application through the AcademicJobsOnline portal, with the following materials:

- CV with a publication list

- Statement of research

- Three letters of references

All materials should be submitted by **December 15, 2024**. A cover letter is not required. The position is expected to begin in Fall 2025, and last for three years.

All postdoctoral associates at BU will receive a competitive salary, and are eligible for benefits. Please send all enquiries on this position to hongwan@bu.edu.

BU conducts a background check on all final candidates for certain faculty and staff positions. The background check includes contacting the final candidate’s current and previous employer(s) to ask whether, in the last seven years, there has been a substantiated finding of misconduct violating that employer’s applicable sexual misconduct policies. To implement this process, the University requires a final candidate to complete and sign the form entitled “Authorization to Release Information” after execution of an offer letter.

We are an equal opportunity employer and all qualified applicants will receive consideration for employment without regard to race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, national origin, disability status, protected veteran status, or any other characteristic protected by law. We are a VEVRAA Federal Contractor.
