About this position
The Wisconsin IceCube Particle Astrophysics Center (WIPAC) at the University of Wisconsin–Madison invites applications for several postdoctoral scholar positions in particle astrophysics, including consideration for the John Bahcall Fellowship. The center works across experiment, theory and phenomenology, data analysis, instrumentation, and artificial intelligence, with research spanning high-energy neutrinos, gamma rays, cosmic rays, and multi-messenger astrophysics.
WIPAC plays a leading role in major international projects and observatories, including IceCube, IceCube-Gen2, CTAO, ARA, RNO-G, HAWC, and SWGO. The advertised research environment is broad and collaborative, with opportunities in neutrino astronomy, gamma-ray astronomy, neutrino oscillations, dark matter, machine learning for event reconstruction and simulation, and the theory and phenomenology of high-energy astrophysical sources.
Postdoctoral researchers will work closely with WIPAC faculty members Ke Fang, Francis Halzen, Dan Hooper, Albrecht Karle, Lu Lu, and Justin Vandenbroucke, alongside WIPAC students, staff scientists, and other postdoctoral scholars. The position is embedded in a strong UW research network that connects astrophysics, particle physics, cosmology, computing, and data science through the Departments of Physics and Astronomy and the Data Science Institute.
All applicants are considered for the John Bahcall Fellowship, a named postdoctoral fellowship that honors a founding member of the IceCube observatory and includes an independent research budget and substantial research freedom.
