The Theory Group in the Physics Division at Argonne National Laboratory is now seeking candidates for postdoctoral positions in nuclear theory, to begin as early as Spring 2025. The positions are for two years, with the possibility of one additional year contingent upon funding and performance. Applications received by 29 November 2024 will receive our fullest consideration. The Theory Group has four staff members [Ian Cloët, Alessandro Lovato, Anna McCoy, and Yong Zhao] and several postdocs and students. The group has a broad research program in QCD/hadron physics and nuclear structure/reactions, and access to extensive laboratory and national computational resources. In addition, we have significant involvement in three SciDAC-5 projects: 1) Femtoscale Imaging of Nuclei using Exascale Platforms, 2) Fundamental nuclear physics at the exascale and beyond, and 3) Nuclear Computational Low Energy Initiative (NUCLEI); and two Topical Collaborations: 1) 3D quark-gluon structure of hadrons: mass, spin, and tomography, and 2) Nuclear Theory for New Physics. Further information on our group and its research activities can be found at www.anl.gov/phy/theory . Interested applicants should complete the following three steps: 1. Complete the application herein. 2. Email a curriculum vitae and a one-page statement of research interests to Ian Cloët ( icloet@anl.gov ). Please identify for which position/requisition you are applying. 3. Arrange for three letters of recommendation to be emailed to the same address. Any questions about the position may be sent to Ian Cloët ( icloet@anl.gov ). Please note only applications through Workday will be considered **Position Requirements** + PhD in theoretical physics, or a related field completed prior to the start date of the postdoctoral position and no more than 5 years of postdoctoral experience. + Ability to model Argonne’s core values of impact, safety, respect, integrity, and teamwork. We are seeking a wide candidate pool so welcome applications from all those interested that broadly meet these criteria. **Job Family** Postdoctoral Family **Job Profile** Postdoctoral Appointee **Worker Type** Long-Term (Fixed Term) **Time Type** Full time _As an equal employment opportunity and affirmative action employer, and in accordance with our core values of impact, safety, respect, integrity and teamwork, Argonne National Laboratory is committed to a diverse and inclusive workplace that fosters collaborative scientific discovery and innovation.
