About this position

Postdoctoral position in theoretical particle physics at CNRS / Institut de physique théorique (IPhT), France.

This full-time postdoctoral opening is part of the ANR P2S2 project and focuses on particle physics, quantum chromodynamics (QCD), jet physics, and the development of precise parton shower algorithms. The successful candidate will work on next-to-single-log accuracy for e+e- collisions, extend the results to proton-proton collisions, and study phenomenological consequences in jet physics.

The project is led by Gregory Soyez at IPhT in collaboration with Matteo Cacciari at LPTHE. The position is a temporary full-time contract for 2 years, with the possibility of extension for a third year.

Eligibility highlights: applicants should have a PhD or equivalent, strong knowledge of particle physics and QCD, and programming skills are considered an advantage. Basic French is listed in the requirements.

Location: Saint Aubin, Haute Normandie, France.

Deadline: 2 October 2026, 23:59 UTC.

How to apply: submit your application via the CNRS vacancy page. A Euraxess application/view page is also linked in the post.
