The Institute of High Energy Physics (IHEP) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) invites applications from outstanding scientists, engineers, and early-career researchers worldwide.

As China’s leading institution for particle physics and a major center for accelerator-based science, IHEP offers an interdisciplinary environment spanning particle physics, astrophysics, cosmology, accelerator science, synchrotron radiation, neutron science, advanced instrumentation, and AI-enabled scientific computing. We seek candidates whose work will contribute to frontier discovery, major scientific infrastructure, and the development of enabling technologies across IHEP’s core research programs.

Research Areas

Applications are welcome in, but not limited to, the following areas:
- Experimental particle physics, including neutrino and collider physics;
- Detector and instrumentation R D;
- Accelerator science and technology;
- Theoretical particle physics and cosmology;
- High-energy astrophysics and related instrumentation;
- X-ray science and advanced experimental methods;




- Beamline science, engineering, controls, computing, and AI-driven data analysis;
- Synchrotron radiation applications;
- Neutron scattering science and instrumentation;
- Materials science and condensed matter physics;
- Scientific computing, software systems, AI, and quantum computing for science.

Major Facilities and Programs

Successful candidates may contribute to major national scientific facilities and flagship research programs at IHEP.

These include JUNO, BESIII, CEPC, CSNS, HEPS, LHAASO, AliCPT, eXTP, and HERD, as well as international collaborations such as ATLAS, CMS, and LHCb.
