| - | With its huge breadth of research interests and expertise, the Center for Theoretical Physics at MIT is a great place to do postdoctoral research. Please [[jthaler@jthaler.net|contact me]] for further information about the group. Formal CTP postdoc applications are available on [[http://academicjobsonline.org/ajo/MIT/CTP/|Academic Jobs Online]]. | + | With its huge breadth of research interests and expertise, the [[http://ctp.mit.edu/|Center for Theoretical Physics (CTP)]] at MIT is a great place to do postdoctoral research. There are also opportunities to engage with the [[http://iaifi.org/|Institute for Artificial Intelligence and Fundamental Interactions (IAIFI)]]. Specific postdoctoral opportunities to collaborate with me and my group include: |

| + | * [[http://academicjobsonline.org/ajo/MIT/CTP/|Postdoctoral positions in the CTP]] (typical deadline mid-November) | ||
| + | * [[https://iaifi.org/fellows.html|IAIFI Fellowship]] for researchers working at the intersection of physics and AI (typical deadline late September) | ||
| + | * [[https://physics.mit.edu/research/pappalardo-fellowships-in-physics/|Pappalardo Fellowship]] for exceptional postdoctoral candidates (requires nomination in early September) | ||
| - | Exceptional postdoctoral candidates should consider applying for the [[http://mit.edu/physics/research/pappalardo/index.html|Pappalardo Fellowship]] at MIT. In addition, there is often funding for LHC-related research through the [[http://www.pas.rochester.edu/~orr/LHC-TI/Home.html|LHC Theory Initiative]], and I am happy to sponsor one LHC-TI fellow each year. | ||

| - | I am currently taking MIT graduate students interested in all aspects of physics in and beyond the standard model. If you are interested, please [[jthaler@jthaler.net|send me an email]] with your CV and previous research experience. | + | I anticipate at least one opening in my research group in the coming years. I am particularly interested in supervising students in the [[https://stat.mit.edu/academics/idps/idps-physics/|Interdisciplinary Doctoral Program in Statistics (IDPS)]], though I am open to working on all aspects of physics in and beyond the standard model. |

| - | To do meaningful research in theoretical particle physics at the undergraduate level, you must have taken at least a course on Relativity (8.033) and a full year of Quantum Mechanics (8.05/8.06). My preference is to work with students who have taken some graduate-level courses at MIT. Funding is available through the [[http://web.mit.edu/UROP/|UROP]] program.
