About this position
The Theoretical High Energy Physics Group at the Institute for Physics, Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz, is recruiting several postdoctoral researchers for work across a broad spectrum of modern theoretical physics.
The group brings together a large collaboration of researchers including Marzia Bordone, Tobias Hurth, Hans Jockers, Joachim Kopp, Matthias Neubert, Pedro Schwaller, Vasily Sotnikov, Stefan Weinzierl, Felix Yu, and Jens Erler, alongside postdoctoral fellows and PhD and master’s students. The research environment spans particle and astroparticle physics, cosmology, field theory, string theory, and mathematical physics, offering opportunities to work in a diverse and active theoretical setting.
The positions are embedded in the PRISMA++ Excellence Cluster in Mainz, and the group’s location near the Mainz Institute for Theoretical Physics supports strong international interaction. Postdoctoral researchers can also benefit from exchange agreements with ICTP/SAIFR in São Paulo, Fermilab, and the Tata Institute of Fundamental Research in Mumbai.
Applicants are invited from related areas and are expected to state their previous experience and topical preferences in their application. A specific ERC Advanced Grant project led by Matthias Neubert focuses on effective field theory for non-global observables at hadron colliders.
Funding details
Several postdoctoral positions at TV-L E13.
What's required
Applicants should have previous experience in relevant related fields and indicate their topical preference in the application material. Candidates applying for the ERC advanced grant project on effective field theory for non-global observables at hadron colliders should specifically have experience with SCET and collider physics.
How to apply
Apply through the AcademicJobsOnline portal and submit the required application materials by the deadline. Include your previous experience and topical preference in the application. Applicants for the ERC advanced grant project should also highlight relevant SCET and collider-physics experience.
