Fall 2025 Particle Physics and Astrophysics Faculty Search in elementary particle theory The Particle Physics & Astrophysics (PPA) Department at SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory/Stanford University seeks applicants in an open-ranked search in elementary particle theory. Early career and mid‑career applicants for positions at the untenured or tenured level are especially encouraged to apply. The search welcomes applications from candidates working broadly within all areas of elementary particle theory with a focus on Beyond‑the‑Standard‑Model physics and collider phenomenology. The successful applicant will lead a research program in theoretical elementary particle physics, supervise graduate students and research associates, and engage with SLAC, DOE and international experimental programs towards framing a compelling vision for how SLAC can contribute to the global high energy physics program. The SLAC Elementary Particle Physics theory group conducts a wide range of research in particle theory, including collider phenomenology, QCD, amplitudes, dark matter and neutrino research. It is integrated within the Fundamental Physics Directorate at SLAC, which includes major experimental efforts on the ATLAS experiment at the LHC, multiple dark matter direct detection experiments, neutrino experiments, beam‑based dark sector searches, and the Kavli Institute for Particle Astrophysics and Cosmology. SLAC accelerator and experimental physicists are engaged in designing future energy frontier colliders facilities. All applicants must have a Ph.D. in Physics or a related subject field. Application Materials Required
Cover letter; Curriculum Vitae; Research statement; Three reference letters (to be submitted online by the reference writers); EEO Statement
Stanford is an equal employment opportunity and affirmative action employer. All qualified applicants will receive consideration for employment without regard to race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, national origin, disability, protected veteran status, or any other characteristic protected by law. Stanford welcomes applications from all who would bring additional dimensions to the University's research, teaching and clinical missions. The expected base pay range, depending on rank (Assistant Professor, Associate Professor or Full Professor), is in the range of $180 - $300K per annum based on a 12 month salary.
