About this position
- The T-2 group (Nuclear and Particle Physics, Astrophysics and Cosmology)
- in the Theoretical Division at Los Alamos National Laboratory invites
- applications for two-year postdoctoral positions in Nuclear Theory to
- begin in Fall 2027. Candidates are expected to have a Ph.D. in nuclear
- theory or a closely related field by the beginning of the postdoctoral
- appointment (but no earlier than December 2021 per LANL policy). We
- conduct research on a broad set of topics, including effective
- theories of strong and weak interactions, heavy-ion physics and
- physics of the quark-gluon plasma, low-energy phenomenology within and
- beyond the Standard Model, neutrino physics and astrophysics, nuclear
- astrophysics, nuclear structure, perturbative QCD, and quantum few-
- and many-body systems, and quantum computing. Candidates in all these
- areas are strongly encouraged to apply. Scientists in the group
- working in these areas include Joe Carlson, Stefano Gandolfi, Emanuele
- Mereghetti, Duff Neill, Ingo Tews, and Ivan Vitev. We collaborate
- actively with our colleagues in high-energy theory and applied nuclear
- theory in T-2 and have close ties with our colleagues in astrophysics,
- cosmology, condensed matter/quantum information and experimental
- physics. LANL offers Distinguished Postdoctoral Fellowships (Curie,
- Feynman, Hoffman, Oppenheimer) and Director’s funded postdoc positions
- through a lab-wide competitive selection process. Exceptionally well
- qualified candidates, that wish to be considered for these
- Postdoctoral Fellowships, must have all application materials
- submitted by Monday, October 5, 2026. Interested applicants should
- submit their applications (CV, research statement, and list of
- publications) on https://lanl.jobs/ for the opening with Req. Number
- IRC145807 as well as on academicjobsonline.org and arrange to have at
- least three letters of recommendation uploaded on your behalf.
- Applications for group postdoc positions should be submitted by
- Monday, December 14, 2026, for full consideration. For eligibility and
