Career Opportunities at the Institute of High Energy Physics (IHEP), Chinese Academy of Sciences

Introduction to IHEP

The Institute of High Energy Physics (IHEP), a research institute of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, is the largest laboratory dedicated to particle physics research in China. With over 1,500 full-time employees and more than 900 postdoctoral researchers and graduate students, IHEP is a vibrant hub for scientific inquiry. As particle physics thrives on collaboration, IHEP maintains extensive partnerships and experimental collaborations with universities and research institutions both in China and internationally.

Opportunities Available

IHEP is continually seeking outstanding scientists and engineers at all career stages to join us in exploring the mysteries of the universe. We offer both long-term and short-term positions across our world-class research programs, including high energy physics, particle astrophysics, computer science, cosmology, synchrotron radiation, and advanced accelerator physics. These positions come with highly competitive funding packages and salaries.

Event at CERN

We invite you to attend an informative event at CERN, where you can explore career prospects at IHEP through brief presentations from various divisions. These presentations will showcase available positions and research programs related to JUNO, BES, CEPC, CSNS, HEPS, LHAASO, AliCPT, eXTP, HERD, ATLAS, CMS, and LHCb experiments, as well as research opportunities in accelerators, computing, and more. Following the presentations, there will be a discussion session where attendees can ask questions and engage with IHEP representatives.

Researchers and professionals from all CERN experiments and sectors are welcome to attend in person. Registration is free, and coffee and snacks will be provided during the break.

We look forward to seeing you there!
