About this position

The Theoretical Particle Physics and Cosmology Group in the Physics Department at King's College London is recruiting for two postdoctoral positions starting in October 2027.

The appointments sit within a research environment that brings together work on beyond-the-Standard-Model particle physics, collider phenomenology, and LHC physics, alongside projects at the interface of particle physics, astrophysics, and cosmology. The advertised themes also include gravitational-wave physics, with an emphasis on tests of physics beyond the Standard Model and constraints on theories of gravity.

The group includes researchers working across these areas, including Jean Alexandre, Chris McCabe, Sebastian Ellis, Malcolm Fairbairn, Ruth Gregory, Eugene Lim, Lionel London, David (Doddy) Marsh, Nick Mavromatos, Mairi Sakellariadou, Sarben Sarkar, and Tevong You, together with postdocs and PhD students.

These positions are supported by the UK STFC research council and are based in the Physics Department at King's College London.
