The High-Energy Nuclear Theory Group at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) invites applications for a postdoctoral fellow position starting in Fall 2026.

Our group's research focuses on Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD) theory and phenomenology, broadly defined, with strong connections to the experimental programs at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC), and the future Electron-Ion Collider (EIC). We are also actively exploring applications of quantum simulation, tensor-network methods, and machine learning in nuclear and particle physics.

Please feel free to share this announcement with interested candidates. The application deadline is December 1, 2025. Bhaumik Prize Postdoctoral Fellowships may be awarded to especially well-qualified candidates. More information about this program is available at: https://physicalsciences.ucla.edu/bhaumik-prize-postdoctoral-fellows-pr… (Nomination form deadline: October 31, 2025.)
