About this position
Carleton University’s Theoretical Particle Physics group is seeking one or two postdoctoral fellows to begin in Fall 2027. The appointment is based in the Physics Department in Ottawa and sits within a research environment spanning theoretical and experimental particle physics.
The successful candidate will work in theoretical astroparticle physics broadly defined, with the group’s wider interests covering beyond-the-Standard Model physics. The group includes six faculty members, three postdoctoral fellows, and numerous graduate students, providing a sizeable and active theory environment for collaboration and discussion.
The department also has a strong experimental particle physics presence, with researchers involved in major efforts such as ATLAS at the LHC and dark matter and neutrino experiments including DEAP, DarkSide-20k, ARGO, and Hyper-K. The postdoctoral project is positioned within this broader ecosystem of particle, astroparticle, dark matter, and neutrino research at Carleton.
One of the positions will be considered for the McDonald Institute Theory Fellowships through the MITF or MI-CITA postdoc programs, and top-ranked applicants will be forwarded to the relevant evaluation committee for fellowship allocation.
