About the position

The University of Delaware is offering a joint 3-year postdoctoral position in theoretical particle physics, starting in September 2025. This role involves conducting research in particle phenomenology and collaborating with the theoretical physics group at both the University of Delaware and Johns Hopkins University. The successful candidate will contribute to advancing knowledge in theoretical particle physics, particularly in exploring physics beyond the Standard Model.

Responsibilities

• Investigate new approaches to searching for physics beyond the Standard Model, including new ideas for probing theoretically motivated dark matter candidates.
• Explore new probes of early universe cosmology.
• Understand constraints on new forces from structure formation.
• Collaborate closely with research group members at Delaware and Johns Hopkins University, colleagues, and the supervisor to review and refine research strategies.
• Prepare and organize materials for research papers, author papers, and submit findings to scientific journals.
• Create presentations, posters, and materials for conferences and scientific meetings.
• Assist in the supervision and mentorship of graduate students.
• Support the evaluation and discussion of other research groups' work through analysis of published studies and conference presentations.
• Help shape and refine research goals within the group.

Requirements

• PhD in Physics or related fields.
