About this position

The Laboratoire d’Annecy de Physique Théorique (LAPTh), a joint research unit of CNRS and Université Savoie Mont Blanc, invites applications for a postdoctoral position in theoretical physics.

The project brings together quantum gravity, cosmology, and AI for Science, with additional connections to the Physics of Learning. The main research direction studies links between fundamental theory and cosmology, with particular focus on accelerated expansion and the origin of dark energy in string theory and M-theory. A key methodological element is the application and development of machine learning tools for solving equations of motion governing compactifications.

The successful candidate will also have opportunities to contribute to Physics of Learning research, including studies of optimization and sampling dynamics, neural network theory, and neural scaling laws, while also developing an independent research program alongside collaborative work.

The postdoc will join the Mathematical Physics group at LAPTh and work with Dr. G. Bruno De Luca. The environment includes interactions with researchers in fundamental physics, mathematics, and AI through the MIAI Cluster, as well as existing links with the Simons Collaboration on the Physics of Learning. The laboratory also offers dedicated computing resources and support for conferences and research visits, with proximity to CERN adding further opportunities for exchange and collaboration.

The position is based in Annecy in the French Alps.

Funding details

Three-year postdoctoral appointment funded by the Multidisciplinary Institute for Artificial Intelligence (MIAI Cluster); salary follows the USMB scale and is commensurate with experience, with usual social benefits.

What's required

Applicants must hold, or expect to obtain by the starting date, a PhD in theoretical physics or a closely related field. A strong theoretical physics background and research interests relevant to one or more of the project directions are expected. Experience with AI and machine learning is welcome but not required. Knowledge of French is not required.

How to apply

Apply in English via AcademicJobsOnline. Include a cover letter, CV with publications, research statement, and arrange for at least three recommendation letters to be submitted directly by referees. Applications received by 2026-12-18 will receive full consideration.
