The search is broad, covering all areas of theoretical particle physics, with particular emphasis on particle physics phenomenology. Members in the Particle Theory Group work on physics within and beyond the Standard Model, including effective field theories and perturbative QCD, phenomenology at current and future colliders, as well as emerging areas in Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning, Quantum Information and Quantum Simulation. The successful candidate will be expected to carry out an independent and collaborative research program in particle theory that strengthens and complements existing efforts in the group and the division. The Argonne High Energy Physics Division provides a vibrant and collaborative research environment. In addition to a strong theory program, the Division has an extensive experimental portfolio, including participation in the ATLAS experiment at the Energy Frontier; the DUNE, Mu2e, and g-2 experiments at the Intensity Frontier; and

SPT-3G, LSST

DESC, DES, and the Roman Space Telescope in the Cosmic Frontier. The Division is also engaged in physics preparations for the Electron-Ion Collider (EIC), the development of advanced accelerator technologies (such as the Argonne Wakefield Accelerator), and novel superconducting detector technologies. There is an additional theoretical effort in computational cosmology. The initial appointment is for two years, with the possibility of extension to a third year, contingent on performance and available funding.
