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.
