The quantum gravity team at the Centre de Physique Théorique in Marseille invites applications for one two-year junior postdoctoral position starting in early 2027. The position can start any time after December 1, 2026, but no later than April 1, 2027.
The candidate must have completed their PhD before the starting date and have less than two years of postdoctoral experience. The group consists of four permanent members — Alejandro Perez, Pietro Donà, Simone Speziale, and Carlo Rovelli – and currently includes five PhD students and two postdocs.
The successful candidate is expected to collaborate, though not exclusively, with team members on their projects, engage with PhD students, and contribute to organizing the group’s activities. The team focuses on quantum gravity, quantum information aspects of quantum gravity, black hole physics, and asymptotic symmetries in general relativity.
The salary will follow the French academic pay scale for postdocs, with an estimated net salary of approximately 2400 EUR per month.
Interested applicants should submit a CV, a list of publications, and a research statement compiled in a single PDF file by filling out this form: https://forms.gle/176ziCgsdQxdk7B49
Applicants should also provide the names and contact details of up to two referees, whom we will contact directly for letters of recommendation.
The application deadline is September 20, 2026.
