The Institut de Physique Theorique (IPhT) invites applications for a junior-level permanent position in physics. The position is opened for researchers working on phenomenology of the standard models of the two infinities. This includes the standard model of cosmology (e.g. physics of the early Universe, large scale-structures or gravitational waves) and the standard model of particle physics (e.g. QCD and heavy-ion physics). Application deadline: March 20th, 2026.
Applications (including a cover letter, a CV, a research statement and a list of publications) and three reference letters should be sent through Academic Jobs Online.
The position is roughly equivalent to a tenured assistant professorship with no teaching obligations. The IPhT is a Research Institute of CEA and CNRS, and is associated to the Université Paris-Saclay. IPhT is a multidisciplinary institute, with a strong expertise in a wide range of topics in theoretical physics. It is located in the south of Paris, a rich scientific environment. CEA and the broader Paris-Saclay area also count many other institutes working on related physics aspects, both theoretical and experimental.
