We plan to open a 2-year postdoctoral position in theoretical cosmology and gravitation, starting in September 2026. The position is funded by the HERMES project, devoted to multi-messengers of the Earth and the Universe. More specifically, the aim of the research project is to explore theories of modified gravity on cosmological scales and identify how existing or future probes, using electromagnetic or gravitational wave signals, will be able to constrain these models. In this perspective, the postdoctoral researcher will be part of the theory team, but will also be expected to engage into collaborative work with the gravitation and/or the cosmology teams at APC.
The Astroparticle and Cosmology Laboratory (APC) is a leading French research institute affiliated with Universite’ Paris Cite’, CNRS/IN2P3, CEA, and the Paris Observatory. It conducts cutting-edge research in astroparticle physics, cosmology, gravitation, and high-energy astrophysics, combining theory, data analysis, and participation in major international collaborations. As part of the IN2P3 Institute of CNRS, APC benefits from scientific coordination and technical infrastructure, including access to national computing resources.
Applicants should have a PhD in the fields of gravitational physics and cosmology. Applications should include:
* a cover letter;
* a CV (with a complete list of publications);
* a research statement (of no more than 3 pages);
* three letters of recommendation from senior scientists.
Applications (including recommendation letters) should be submitted through Academic Jobs Online at this link: https://academicjobsonline.org/ajo/edelivery/6095
Deadline for applications: 15 December 2025.
