Job Description

  • Description
  • The Department of Physics at Carnegie Mellon University invites applications for a postdoctoral research associate position with expertise in lattice QCD.
The successful applicant will contribute to an NSF-funded project helping the CosMoN/BaSc collaboration with its current projects, especially continuing efforts to adapt parts of its current software stack to GPU acceleration, so a candidate with expertise in GPU coding is strongly preferred. The initial appointment will be for one year starting in September 2026 or shortly after, with possible extensions for a second and third year. Information about the CMU Physics Department can be found at http://www.cmu.edu/physics . Inquiries about this position should be emailed to Prof. Colin Morningstar at cmorning@andrew.cmu.edu .
  • Qualifications
  • Applicants must hold a Ph.D. in Physics by the time of appointment. Experience with lattice QCD computations is required, and some GPU software development experience is preferred.
  • Application Instructions
  • Applications, including a curriculum vitae, publication list, and statement of research experience and interests, should be submitted through this Interfolio site.
Candidates should also arrange to have at least three letters of recommendation uploaded to Interfolio. Review of applications will begin on July 1, 2026 and continue until the position is filled.
