The research of the Theoretical High Energy Physics (THEP) group spans diverse aspects of fundamental interactions of Nature and of the elementary constituents of matter. These include studies of perturbative quantum field theory for the strong, electroweak, and Yukawa interactions of quarks and leptons of the Standard Model of particle physics, astroparticle physics, early universe cosmology, the phenomenology of neutrino oscillations, effective field theories, including soft-collinear effective field theory and heavy quark effective field theory, multi-loop integrals and the mathematics of scattering amplitudes and Feynman diagrams, topological and non-perturbative aspects of quantum field theory, string theory and mathematical physics connections to geometry.

Research also extends to model-building and phenomenology for beyond the Standard Model physics, including solutions to the dark matter problem, baryogenesis and leptogenesis, the strong CP problem and its theoretical underpinning, the gauge hierarchy problem, collider physics, flavor physics, Higgs physics, quantum sensors, and connections to atomic and nuclear physics.

For general inquiries regarding open research positions please contact the respective THEP faculty member directly.

Postdoctoral positions in the THEP group are generally announced in October of a given calendar year on AcademicJobsOnline, with a start date of October in the following calendar year.
