About
Join the Theory Group of Argonne's Physics Division for research in QCD and hadron physics and in nuclear structure and reactions, with an emphasis on artificial intelligence and quantum information science. The group takes part in SciDAC-5 projects on femtoscale imaging of nuclei, exascale nuclear physics and the NUCLEI low-energy initiative, Genesis Mission projects on lattice QCD and AI-optimised quantum circuits for nuclear problems, and topical collaborations on the 3D quark-gluon structure of hadrons and nuclear theory for new physics.
Appointments last two years with a possible third year and can start as early as spring 2027.
Requirements
A recent or soon-to-be-completed PhD in theoretical physics or a related field, completed before the start date and no more than five years earlier. Besides the online application, the advert asks applicants to email a CV and a one-page research statement to Ian Cloët and to arrange three recommendation letters; applications received by 20 November 2026 receive fullest consideration.
