About this position

The Leinweber Institute for Theoretical Physics at the University of California, Berkeley invites applications for a postdoctoral researcher in the Simons Working Group on Axions, beginning in Fall 2027. The successful candidate will join a multi-institutional collaboration spanning Berkeley, Princeton, the University of Washington, LAPTh/CNRS in Annecy, and Wroclaw University of Science and Technology.

The research program sits at the intersection of theoretical particle physics, theoretical nuclear astrophysics, and astroparticle physics. The group aims to develop and implement new astrophysical probes of the quantum chromodynamics axion and axion-like particles, with projects ranging from supernova simulations and black hole superradiance to cosmological axion simulations and theoretical calculations of axion effects in extreme astrophysical and cosmological systems.

At Berkeley, the postdoctoral researcher will be a member of the Leinweber Institute for Theoretical Physics and will have broad scope to pursue related projects with collaborators across the Working Group. The position emphasizes active collaboration, frequent travel to partner institutions, and extended visits within the network, offering an internationally connected research environment focused on frontier questions in axion phenomenology and astrophysical theory.

Funding details

Competitive salary, benefits, and funds for travel; position awarded for up to three years.
