About this position

The Fermilab Theory Division is inviting applications for one or more postdoctoral research appointments starting in the fall of 2027. The position is based in the Theory Division at Fermilab, with an onsite appointment in Batavia, Illinois.

The successful candidate will carry out self-directed theoretical physics research on topics of their own choosing, while also having the opportunity to interact with members of the senior scientific staff and other postdocs in the Division. The research environment spans a wide range of topics in modern fundamental physics, including collider phenomenology, dark matter and dark energy, the early universe, lattice QCD, large-scale structure and evolution, Higgs and flavor physics, high-energy particle astrophysics, neutrino physics, numerical cosmology, perturbative QCD, physics beyond the Standard Model, and quantum simulation, algorithms, and sensing for probing fundamental physics.

The Division highlights strong connections with Fermilab’s experimental program and with nearby and collaborative research centers, including SQMS, Fermilab’s National Quantum Initiative center, the University of Chicago, and the Kavli Institute for Cosmological Physics. Candidates working in AI and quantum-related directions are especially encouraged to apply. The senior scientific staff named in the advert include Asher Berlin, John Campbell, Bogdan Dobrescu, Scott Dodelson, George Fleming, Patrick Fox, Nick Gnedin, Roni Harnik, Stefan Hoeche, Gordan Krnjaic, Andreas Kronfeld, Henry Lamm, Pedro Machado, Stephen Parke, Noemi Rocco, Albert Stebbins, Ruth Van de Water, and Michael Wagman.

The appointment is for a three-year term and is designed for researchers pursuing independent theory work in a highly collaborative national-lab environment.
