About this position
Harvard University's Leinweber Institute for Theoretical Physics invites applications for a Leinweber Physics Postdoctoral Fellow position beginning in fall 2027. The appointment is based in Cambridge, Massachusetts, United States, within the Faculty of Arts and Sciences.
The fellow will pursue independent research interests and collaborate across multiple research groups at Harvard, with additional opportunities to participate in events and collaborations through the broader Leinweber Network for Theoretical Physics, which spans nine institutions. The institute conducts curiosity-driven research on fundamental aspects of theoretical physics.
Research areas include high-energy theory and phenomenology, particle physics, cosmology, condensed matter physics, quantum field theory, quantum gravity, string theory, symmetry, holography, duality, gravitational physics, and theoretical studies connected to novel experiments and observations.
Applicants must have completed a Ph.D. by the appointment start date and have research experience overlapping with the institute's interests or a closely related area of theoretical physics. The initial appointment is for one year, with possible annual renewal for a second and third year subject to satisfactory performance, continued funding, research needs, and required approvals.
The salary range is $78,000–$88,000, depending on experience, training or qualifications, field of scholarship, and accomplishments. Apply through the New England HERC job portal. Questions may be directed to Jennifer Pollock at [email protected].
