Joao Penedones

The High Energy Theory (HET) group at Ecole Polytechnique Federale de Lausanne (EPFL) is inviting applications for a postdoctoral Research Associate position in theoretical particle physics. The position is based in the Theoretical Particle Physics Laboratory in Lausanne and is intended to start in the fall of 2027, with the possibility of an earlier start. The group’s senior members next fall are described as Victor Gorbenko , Joao Penedones , Riccardo Rattazzi , Marc Riembau , and Monica Guica , with the latter two serving in joint CERN/EPFL staff scientist roles. The group also has strong links with nearby institutions, especially CERN and the University of Geneva. The opening is focused on research areas associated with Riccardo Rattazzi and Marc Riembau , namely quantum field theory, high energy phenomenology, physics beyond the Standard Model, and cosmology. The postdoc will join an active high-energy theory environment with close connections to leading regional research centres.
