AY 2025-2026 Position No. 00055017 Postdoctoral Fellow in Physics

Job description

Description The successful candidate will join the theoretical high-energy particle physics group at Southern Methodist University. The initial appointment will be for a period of two years, with the possibility of extension to a third year (2+1), contingent on performance and funding. The applicant will work with PI Tobias Neumann on a research program pushing the frontiers of precision in theoretical particle physics. The group's research is organized along two primary, synergistic thrusts: 1) advancing the precision of collider cross-sections for the HL-LHC, with a focus on developing and applying methods for higher-order perturbative calculations; and 2) pioneering the next generation of first-principles Parton Distribution Function (PDF) determinations with multi-loop matching calculations for lattice QCD. The successful candidate will have ample opportunities to present their work at international conferences and workshops, supported by a generous yearly travel budget. Desired areas of research focus and expertise: Candidates should have deep expertise in modern perturbative methods , with a strong track record at the interface of analytic and numerical techniques .
