About this position

The high-energy theory group in the Particle Physics and Astrophysics Department at the Weizmann Institute of Science is inviting applications for a post-doctoral fellowship starting in fall 2027. The group focuses on foundational problems in quantum field theory, string theory, and quantum chaos, placing the fellow in an active theoretical physics environment.

The group’s faculty members are Ofer Aharony and Micha Berkooz, with Adar Sharon joining in fall 2027. The advert notes that the group typically includes additional post-docs and graduate students, and that it maintains close contacts, including joint seminars, with other string theory groups in Israel. This suggests a collaborative research setting with regular scientific exchange across institutions.

The posting also highlights broader research connections through Ofer Aharony’s role as deputy director of the Simons Collaboration on Confinement and QCD Strings. The fellowship may therefore offer opportunities to engage with related work on confinement and QCD strings, alongside the group’s core interests in high-energy theory.

Practical support mentioned in the advert includes access to on-campus housing for the first year in many cases, and the ability for the group to cover scientific expenses such as conference and workshop travel. The posting also notes an option for a joint post-doctoral position with the Max Planck Society, involving two years at each institution, subject to separate application arrangements.

The institution is located in Rehovot, a short distance from Tel Aviv, and the advert points applicants to the group website and Weizmann’s postdoctoral training information for more details.

Funding details

Post-docs may be partly financed through the Simons Collaboration on Confinement and QCD Strings. The group can generally cover scientific expenses such as travel to conferences and workshops. On-campus housing is usually available for the first year.

What's required

Applicants should upload a CV, research statement, and optional LOP, and arrange for 3 reference letters. The advert does not specify degree class, GPA, or language-test requirements, but it is for post-doctoral fellowships in theoretical high-energy physics.

How to apply

Apply through AcademicJobsOnline. Upload your CV, research statement, and optional LOP, and arrange for three reference letters to be submitted. Submit before 2026-12-17 for full consideration.
