The Department of Physics at Colorado State University invites applications for a postdoctoral position specializing in lattice gauge theory, starting in fall 2025. The successful candidate will join the research group of Asst. Prof. William Jay and will have the option to join the Fermilab Lattice and MILC collaborations. The position expected to be a two-year appointment, with the possibility of third year upon mutual agreement and contingent on funding.

Our research involves high-precision calculations aimed at testing the Standard Model and in developing new statistical/algorithmic/analysis techniques to enable such calculations. Inclusive hadronic processes are expected to be a particular focus of this position.

Colorado State University has a strong ongoing program in high energy physics, with faculty members engaged in both theoretical (William Jay, Julia Gehrlein, Josh Berger) and experimental (Robert Wilson, Michal Mooney, and Norm Buchanan) research. Computational science is focus of CSU, which has recently established the Data Science Research Initiative and invested in a new on-site high-performance computing cluster [https://www.research.colostate.edu/dsri/hpc-riviera/]. CSU is located in Fort Collins, CO on the front range of the Rocky Mountains, a wonderfully scenic location to carry our world-leading research.

Applicants must have completed a Ph.D. in theoretical physics by the start of the appointment and have a record of research excellence. Interested individuals should submit a CV, a statement of research experience and interest, and the names and contact information for three references to the CSU physics open pool: https://jobs.colostate.edu/postings/146766.
