Position Description
The Theory Group at the Institut de Física d’Altes Energies (IFAE), at the UAB Campus (Barcelona), invites applications for one Postdoctoral Position in Theoretical Particle Physics, Theoretical Cosmology/Gravitation, starting in Fall 2026. The appointments will be for two years, with a possible extension to a third year. The position is funded by the Severo Ochoa grant CEX2024-001441-S. The candidates should have research expertise in Theoretical Physics, along the strategic lines of the Beyond the Standard Model and Astroparticle Physics and Cosmology groups (https://www.ifae.es/groups/theory/). These include physics beyond the Standard Model, formal aspects of quantum field theories, gravitation, cosmology and astroparticle physics. The members of the group are D. Blas, E. Masso, A. Pomarol, O. Pujolas, M. Quiros, F. Rompineve, E.Salvioni and A. Wulzer. Applicants should have a PhD degree in Physics by the start of the contract. Applications should include a CV, a statement of research interests and publication list (all in PDF format), and 3 Reference Letters. The application deadline will be December 31st, 2025. Contract: Full-time contract (40 hours/week). Temporal contract Indefinido Actividades Cientifico Técnicas The position will correspond to “Postdoctoral Researcher (R2)” within the professional categories of the IFAE.
