About this position
Several postdoctoral positions are expected to become available in autumn 2027 at the Institute for Theoretical Physics at Karlsruhe Institute of Technology in Germany.
The positions sit within a broad theoretical particle physics environment that spans particle physics phenomenology, astroparticles, and cosmology. Successful candidates will join a group with interests in collider physics, precision calculations, effective field theories, new physics beyond the Standard Model, dark matter, particle physics of inflation, and the development of Monte Carlo programs.
The Institute for Theoretical Physics group includes researchers such as K. Berghaus, A. Biekötter, S. Gieseke, G. Heinrich, M. Mühllleitner, and M. Spannowsky, together with several postdocs and PhD students. The group also works closely with the phenomenology group at the Institute for Theoretical Particle/Astroparticle Physics and contributes to the Collaborative Research Center TRR 257, Particle Physics Phenomenology after the Higgs discovery (P3H). The broader setting includes the KIT Center for Particle and Astroparticle Physics and close ties with experimental particle- and astroparticle-physics institutes at KIT.
The appointment is initially for two years with the possibility of extension to a third year.

What's required
Applicants should have experience in particle physics phenomenology, astroparticles or cosmology, with a special interest in collider physics, precision calculations, effective field theories (EFTs), physics beyond the Standard Model, dark matter, particle physics of inflation, or the development of Monte Carlo programs. Applicants are expected to name two or three referees for recommendation letters. The advert also encourages women to apply and notes that, in case of suitable qualification, preference will be given to applicants with disabilities.
How to apply
Prepare a cover letter, research statement, list of publications and CV, then submit the application via Academic Jobs Online. Name two or three referees in the system so that recommendation letters can be uploaded. Priority is given to applications received by 2027-01-07.
