Position Description
The Wisconsin IceCube Particle Astrophysics Center (WIPAC) and the Department of Physics at the University of Wisconsin–Madison invite applications for a postdoctoral research associate in the areas of theoretical particle physics, astrophysics, and cosmology, including astrophysical tests of physics beyond the Standard Model, dark matter, early universe cosmology, and high-energy astrophysical neutrinos, gamma-rays, and cosmic rays. Successful applicants will have the opportunity to carry out an active research program in these and related areas with significant latitude to pursue research topics of their choice. Postdoctoral fellows will have an opportunity to engage with the broad range of research opportunities at the University of Wisconsin represented by WIPAC and the Physics Department theoretical physics group. WIPAC is a center for multi-messenger astrophysics and includes theory faculty Dan Hooper, Ke Fang, and Francis Halzen. The theory group in the Physics Department includes Josh Foster, Yang Bai, Jacob Mortiz, Moritz Munchmeyer, Gary Shiu, Lisa Everett, Dan Chung, Vernon Barger, Baha Balantekin, and Aki Hashamoto. The close connection between WIPAC and the Department of Physics provides a stimulating environment for scientific research, collaboration, and postdoctoral career development. 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. This position is for up to three years. To receive full consideration, submissions should be received no later than December 19, 2025.
