Argonne National Laboratory invites applications for the position of Director of the High Energy Physics (HEP) Division, a core research division within the Physical Sciences and Engineering Directorate. The HEP Division advances discovery at the frontiers of particle physics, cosmology, and theory, with the mission of understanding the fundamental constituents of matter and energy and revealing the nature of space and time. The Division plays leading roles in the conception, construction, and operation of some of the world’s most sophisticated scientific instruments, including particle accelerators, large-scale detectors, and precision cosmological survey facilities.

HEP research at Argonne integrates experimental, theoretical, and computational science. Division researchers leverage advanced computing capabilities for extreme-scale simulation and data analysis and develop methods to manage and interpret the vast data streams produced by modern experiments. Theoretical effort...
