This postdoctoral fellowship is part of the Targeted Simons Research Group on Dark Matter Dynamics , a collaboration building a theoretical framework that connects particle-physics models of dark matter with new forces to predictions for galaxies. The successful researcher will contribute to a project that sits at the interface of theory, numerical simulation, and astrophysical observation, helping to turn dark matter models into testable galactic and small-scale structure predictions. The posit...

About this position

Targeted Simons Research Group on Dark Matter Dynamics at Princeton University invites applications for a postdoctoral research associate position, with possible consideration at a more senior rank.

The project focuses on building a theoretical framework that connects particle physics models of dark matter with new forces to galactic predictions. The successful candidate will contribute research that links numerical simulations, dark matter phenomenology, and current and future observations.

This is a collaborative role within a broader working group spanning several nodes, with close interaction across Princeton University, Rutgers University, and Stony Brook University. The selected researcher will work with collaborators including Alyson Brooks, Rouven Essig, and Mariangela Lisanti on research efforts aimed at advancing the collaboration’s scientific goals.

The position is primarily in person on the Princeton campus, with off-campus work possible subject to approval where the research project is being undertaken. The appointment is expected to start between Summer and Fall 2027, with some flexibility depending on candidate availability.

The postdoctoral rank is normally a one-year appointment, while the more senior rank may be multi-year, with the possibility of renewal.

Funding details

Salary range: PDRA $65,000-$70,000/year; ARS $75,000-$80,000/year. Appointment renewal is possible based on funding.

What's required

Candidates should have a Doctorate degree in Physics, Astronomy, or a closely related field by the start of the appointment. Ideal candidates will have experience working with hydrodynamical or N-body simulations, including at least one publication in this area, with preference for those who have developed and executed new simulations. Applicants should also have working knowledge of dark matter phenomenology and/or small-scale structure observables for dark matter, such as dwarf galaxies, streams, or lensing.

How to apply

Apply online through AcademicJobsOnline. Upload a research statement (max 2 pages excluding references), a CV with publications, and arrange for three confidential letters of reference. Ensure all materials are submitted by December 1, 2026 for full consideration.
