About this position
The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill is recruiting a full-time postdoctoral research associate to join the NSF Focused Research Hub on Advancing the Theory of Nuclear Double Beta-decay (@NDB). The appointee will be based in Chapel Hill, North Carolina, and is expected to join the project in September 2027 for a two-year appointment.
Research will be supervised by Associate Professor Amy Nicholson and will focus on using lattice QCD to compute observables relevant to nuclear double-beta decay. The project connects theoretical physicists and statisticians across multiple institutions and offers opportunities to collaborate on nuclear theory, particle physics, and uncertainty quantification.
Candidates must hold a PhD in Theoretical Physics and should have a strong research record. Experience in lattice QCD and Nuclear Theory is preferred. UNC postdoctoral benefits include comprehensive medical and vision coverage, paid leave, and professional-development services; no salary amount is stated in the posting.
Applicants should submit a curriculum vitae with a complete publication list, a research statement of no more than two pages, and the names of three references. A cover letter is optional. The application deadline is March 23, 2027.
