The theory group at UCLouvain is inviting applications for two 2+1-year postdoctoral positions starting in the fall of 2026, with focus on the following profiles: Particle phenomenology: effective field theories, their collider phenomenology, precise predictions, and on-shell amplitude techniques, primarily supervised by Céline Degrande and Gauthier Durieux. Application deadline: by January 5th, 2026.
Particle cosmology, broadly defined, primarily associated with the team of Marco Drewes, where current research activities include:
nonequilibrium quantum field theory, thermal quantum field theory
applications in cosmology and astroparticle physics (cosmic inflation and reheating, neutrino decoupling, leptogenesis, dark matter production, …)
phenomenology of cosmologically motivated extensions of the Standard Model (collider and non-collider experiments)We kindly ask candidates to indicate the alignment of their interests and expertise with one or several of these topics.
Candidates should have obtained their PhD degree no longer than six years before the start of the appointment.
To apply, please submit, preferably in a single PDF file:
- a cover letter
- a curriculum vitae
- a list of publications
- a research statement
- the contact details of three references
Please find here details.
