The Theory Group at the Institute for Nuclear Physics, Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz, is seeking two postdoctoral researchers in hadron/nuclear theory.
More specifically, our interests span effective-field theories, dispersion theory, and lattice QCD, in the context of precision quantities, such as the muon g-2 and spectroscopy of muonic atoms.
Position 1:
Funded by the German Funding Agency DFG Research Unit “Photon-Photon Interactions in the Standard Model and Beyond” ( https://for5327.uni-mainz.de ), this role focuses on:
- Analyzing hadronic contributions to light-by-light scattering;
- Interpreting the LHC light-by-light scattering data;
- Supporting lattice-QCD calculations of hadronic corrections to muon g-2.
Project Leaders: H. Meyer, V. Pascalutsa.
Position 2:
Funded by the DFG Collaborative Research Center “Hadrons and Nuclei as Discovery Tools” ( https://www.sfb1660.de ), this role involves:
- Theoretical description of the Lamb shift and hyperfine splitting in muonic atoms;
- Emphasis on nuclear/nucleon-structure contributions.
Project Leaders: F. Hagelstein, V. Pascalutsa, and M. Vanderhaeghen.
More details: https://www.sfb1660.de/h04/.
Details:
- Initial term: 2 years, with a possible 1-year extension;
- Start date: No later than October 2025;
- Requirements: PhD in theoretical nuclear, particle, or atomic physics, completed by the start date.
How to Apply:
Submit your application (cover letter, CV, publication list, research statement) as a single PDF to Mrs. Linda York at york@uni-mainz.de and arrange for at least two reference letters to be sent to the same email address.
Deadline:
March 1, or until the positions are filled.
