About this position

The Institute for Theoretical Physics at the University of Heidelberg is inviting applications for postdoctoral positions in its Fundamental Physics Division. The opening is in theoretical physics, with research spanning particle physics, cosmology, and gravitational physics.

The division brings together a large and active community of faculty members, junior research group leaders, associated professors, junior scientists, postdocs, and postgraduate students. It also hosts a lively international visitor program, creating a broad and collaborative research environment.

Research in the group covers particle theory in depth, including particle-cosmology, cosmic structure formation, particle phenomenology, quantum chromodynamics, heavy ion collisions, physics beyond the standard model, quantum gravity, string theory, and non-perturbative and non-equilibrium quantum field theory. The advert also notes applications to ultracold quantum gases.

Successful candidates are expected to join the division in the fall of 2027 for an initial two-year appointment, with the possibility of extension to three years.
