Recruitment


Postdoctoral Research Associate in LHC physics

Deadline on Nov 27, 2026

Job description: We are looking for a Postdoctoral Research Associate in the Higgs Centre for Theoretical Physics to work on LHC physics. This position will contribute to the STFC Consolidated Grant UKRI4228 Particle Theory at the Higgs Centre. Research activities will be oriented towards LHC phenomenology, and in particular the extraction of Standard Model parameters, the development of Machine Learning tools, and the calculation of approximate N3LO corrections to top and jet cross-sections. The successful candidate will have the opportunity to work with the NNPDF collaboration. The position is initially for two years with possible extension to three depending on funding constraints.
