Urs Wenger

PhD positions for fall 2025

We have two PhD positions available at the Institute for Theoretical Physics of the Albert Einstein Center for Fundamental Physics at the University of Bern in the field of computational lattice QCD. Applicants must have a Master's degree in Theoretical Physics (obtained at least 1 month before the starting date) and a strong motivation to pursue an academic career in lattice QCD.

The successful candidates will work in the research group of Prof. Dr. Urs Wenger with a focus on lattice-QCD computations of hadronic contributions to the anomalous magnetic moment of the muon, on developments of multi-level and cluster algorithms, and on simulations of machine-learned RG-improved gauge actions.

The start date will be September 2025 or later.

Priority will be given to applications submitted before 30 April 2025. See AcademicJobsOnline for application details.
