About this position
The Department of Physics and Astronomy at the University of British Columbia is inviting applications for one or more postdoctoral positions in theoretical high energy physics in Vancouver, Canada. The appointment is associated with UBC’s high energy theory group and is intended to begin in September 2027.
The research environment is centered on a broad set of topics in modern theoretical physics. The successful candidate will work in areas that overlap with the interests of the UBC high energy theory faculty, including Joanna Karczmarek, Moshe Rozali, Gordon Semenoff, Mark van Raamsdonk, Carolyn Zhang, and Ariel Zhitnitsky.
The advertised work spans several connected themes in high energy theory, with emphasis on building on existing strengths in the group and contributing to active research across related subfields. The posting highlights a strong research record and expertise in foundational theoretical approaches relevant to particle and field theory.
The position is offered within a major research university and department with an established presence in physics and astronomy, and it is framed as an opportunity to join a collaborative theoretical physics environment in Vancouver.
