About this position

The Department of Theoretical Physics at the University of Geneva is inviting applications for a postdoctoral researcher in the high energy physics group of Prof. Francesco Riva. The position begins in September 2027 and is offered for two years, with the possibility of a one-year extension.

The research programme focuses on modern topics in theoretical particle physics and high energy physics, with particular interest in S-matrix theory, scattering amplitudes, bootstrap methods, energy correlators, and Hamiltonian truncation. The successful candidate will work within a group that engages with both formal theory and active methods used to probe fundamental interactions.

The position sits in the Department of Theoretical Physics - Particle Physics, providing a research environment centered on collaborative work in theoretical high energy physics. The group also has close scientific ties with Prof. Julian Sonner, Prof. Denis Karateev, and Prof. Antonio Riotto, creating additional opportunities for exchange and collaboration across related areas.
