The Theoretical Particle Physics Group at the Institute for Theoretical Physics at Tübingen University invites applications for the position of a postdoctoral researcher (m/f/d, E13 TV-L) for two years, starting in fall 2026.

The interests of the group are centered around the phenomenology of elementary particles. We entertain close ties to other local groups in theoretical and experimental particle physics and astrophysics.

The successful candidate will conduct research on precision calculations for high-energy collider experiments and Monte Carlo development and perform moderate teaching duties. Applicants are required to hold a PhD in physics or an equivalent doctoral degree.

Applicants should provide a curriculum vitae, a list of publications, a brief description of their research interests and plans, indicate how they would fit into the Tübingen HEP group, and arrange for two recommendation letters to be sent separately. Applications should be submitted in a single pdf file electronically by April 30, 2026, to
