The Kavli Institute for Theoretical Physics at the University of California, Santa Barbara expects to appoint Postdoctoral Scholars in theoretical physics, beginning September 1, 2024. For more information, and to apply, please visit https://www.kitp.ucsb.edu/apply/fellowships/postdoctoral-scholars-theoretical-physics.

The University of California is an Equal Opportunity/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 status, protected veteran status, or any other characteristic protected by law.

Now is the time to submit program pre-proposals or full proposals for the 2025-2026 academic year. KITP activities consist of 2-4 month focused research programs. "Pre-proposal" submissions need not be elaborate — a title, at least two paragraphs explaining the idea, suggestions for organizers and key program participants, and an indication of whether you will desire a four day conference as part of the program is adequate. Members of the KITP and the Advisory Board will review these pre-proposals, encourage the development of promising ones into full proposals, and guide coordination of proposals in related areas.

Program planning proceeds through Fall 2023 and reaches preliminary conclusions in early February 2024. Submissions will be of greatest use if they arrive by November 1, 2023.
