Position Description:

The School of Physics (https://physics.gatech.edu/) at the Georgia Institute of Technology in Atlanta, Georgia invites applications for a Postdoctoral Fellow position in Artificial Intelligence techniques to answer fundamental questions about our Universe. Candidates are expected to demonstrate an exceptional commitment to the teaching and mentoring of students.

Research Group Overview: Prof. Aishik Ghosh’s interdisciplinary research group designs Artificial Intelligence (AI) techniques to answer fundamental questions about our Universe. These questions are challenging on several fronts: theoretical calculations, data analysis, and experiment design.

-On the mathematical side, the group designs neuro-symbolic techniques to automate theoretical physics calculations, integrating AI agents with physics software and high-performance computing (HPC). These include particle and gravitational physics.

-On the data analysis side, the group designs novel statistical methods for particle physics and astrophysics that can directly take raw, high-dimensional data from experiments or observatories and rapidly infer theory parameters, such as Higgs boson properties at the Large Hadron Collider or neutron star properties from telescope data. The design of robust uncertainty quantification tools is a core component of this effort.

-On the experiment design side, the group develops simulation and optimization algorithms for the next generation of particle physics experiments and also explores other ways AI can accelerate scientific discovery.

The group collaborates closely with computer scientists, astrophysicists and gravitational / black hole physicists, particle physicists (primarily in collider and neutrino domains) and statisticians at Georgia Tech, Berkeley National Lab, CERN and across the world. For further details, see https://profaishikghosh.github.io/. The successful candidate will work on one of these research themes and should have relevant expertise.

Position Overview -For theory-focused projects, a strong background in group theory, quantum field theory (QFT), or gravity, as well as familiarity with relevant physics software, is recommended.

-For statistical-inference-focused or experiment-design-focused projects, a strong background in statistics and/or particle physics is recommended.

The postdoc will also have the option to work within an experiment collaboration.

Minimum and Preferred Qualifications A Ph.D. in fundamental physics or a relevant field, such as mathematics, statistics, atrophysics, or computer science.

This position does not require any teaching.

Essential Skills and Experience: -Demonstrated ability to conduct creative, high-impact research -Excellent written communication and presentation skills -Strong interest in collaborative, interdisciplinary work

Desirable Skills and Experience: -Experience leading a research project -Experience with high-performance computing (or an interest to learn) -Experience with AI/ML (or an interest to learn)
