Nuclear and Particle Physics, Astrophysics and Cosmology Post-Bachelor Student

What You Will DoThe NPAC theory group studies the most fundamental physics of the Universe from the tiniest to the largest scales in Nature. We develop and employ the most modern theoretical and computational tools to probe everything from quarks and gluons in nuclei, to dramatic black hole and neutron star mergers emitting gravitational waves; from nuclear structure to rare isotopes; from nuclear fusion to nuclear fission for energy and security; from ghostly neutrinos to the mysterious dark matter in the Universe. Specifically, our group has teams of scientists researching Astrophysics & Heliophysics, Basic Nuclear Theory, High-Energy Physics, Nuclear Reactions in light and heavy elements, and applications of these areas to practical problems in science and national security.You will work on a research project with a staff scientist mentor and co-mentor in one of these areas, expected to begin in summer/fall 2026.What You NeedMinimum Job Requirements:
