About the position
Position Description
Several postdoctoral positions in theoretical particle physics are expected to become available in autumn 2027 at the Institute for Theoretical Physics (ITP) at the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT), Germany. The initial appointment will be for a period of two years with the possibility of extension to a third year.
Applicants should have experience in particle physics phenomenology, astroparticles or cosmology, with special interest in collider physics, precision calculations, EFTs, physics beyond the SM, dark matter, particle physics of inflation, or the development of Monte Carlo programs. Applicants would join the group consisting currently of K. Berghaus, A. Biekötter, S. Gieseke, G. Heinrich, M. Mühlleitner, M. Spannowsky and several postdocs and PhD students.
The ITP group closely cooperates with the phenomenology group at the Institute for Theoretical Particle/Astroparticle Physics (M. Blanke, F. Kahlhöfer, K. Melnikov, U. Nierste, M. Steinhauser, T. Schwetz-Mangold et al.), and with members of the Collaborative Research Center TRR 257, "Particle Physics Phenomenology after the Higgs discovery, P3H", comprising scientists from RWTH Aachen and the Universities of Siegen and Heidelberg. The ITP is also part of the "KIT Center for Particle and Astroparticle Physics" of the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology, and there are close ties to the Institutes for Experimental Particle- and Astroparticle Physics.
We aim to increase the diversity at our institute and therefore particularly encourage women to apply. As a family-friendly university, KIT offers part-time employment, leaves for family-related reasons, and individual coaching for family-work balance. In case of suitable qualification, preference will be given to applicants with disabilities.
Applications (including cover letter, research statement, list of publications and CV) should be submitted via Academic Jobs Online.
Applicants are expected to name two or three referees, to be asked by the system to upload their letters of recommendation.
Priority will be given to applications received by January 7, 2027.
