Job description:
The T-2 group (Nuclear and Particle Physics, Astrophysics and Cosmology) in the Theoretical Division at Los Alamos National Laboratory invites applications for one or more postdoctoral positions in Nuclear Theory to begin in Fall 2016. Candidates are expected to have a Ph.D. in nuclear theory or a closely related field by the beginning of the postdoctoral appointment (but no earlier than January 2011 per LANL policy).
There are six full time staff members in Nuclear Theory (Joe Carlson, Vincenzo Cirigliano, Stefano Gandolfi, Ben Gibson, Christopher Lee, Ivan Vitev). We collaborate actively with our colleagues in high-energy theory in T-2 and have close ties with our colleagues in astrophysics, cosmology, and experimental physics. We conduct research on a broad set of topics, including effective theories of strong and weak interactions, heavy-ion physics and physics of the quark-gluon plasma, low-energy phenomenology within and beyond the Standard Model, neutrino physics and astrophysics, nuclear astrophysics, nuclear structure, perturbative QCD, and quantum few- and many-body systems. Candidates in all these areas are strongly encouraged to apply.
Exceptionally well qualified candidates may be considered for a Director's Postdoctoral Fellowship or a Distinguished Fellowship (Curie, Feynman, or Oppenheimer).
Los Alamos is an equal opportunity employer. Women and minorities are strongly encouraged to apply.
Interested applicants should submit their applications (CV, research statement, and list of publications) on academicjobsonline.org and arrange to have at least three letters of recommendation uploaded on your behalf. Applications should be submitted by November 20, 2015, for full consideration.
For eligibility and salary information, please see LANL Postdoc Eligibility and LANL Postdoctoral Salary Guidelines.
For further information please contact Christopher Lee (clee@lanl.gov) or Stefano Gandolfi (stefano@lanl.gov).
