How much do full time nuclear physics postdoctoral jobs pay per year?

As of Aug 20, 2026, the average yearly pay for full time nuclear physics postdoctoral in the United States is $54,223.00, according to ZipRecruiter salary data. Most workers in this role earn between $53,500.00 and $56,500.00 per year, depending on experience, location, and employer.

What is the difference between Full Time Nuclear Physics Postdoctoral vs Full Time Physics Postdoctoral?

AspectFull Time Nuclear Physics PostdoctoralFull Time Physics Postdoctoral
Required CredentialsPhD in Physics or related field, specialized in nuclear physicsPhD in Physics or related field, general physics focus
Work EnvironmentResearch labs, universities, nuclear research facilitiesUniversities, research institutes, various physics departments
Employer & Industry UsagePrimarily in nuclear physics research projectsBroader physics research across multiple subfields

The main difference between a Full Time Nuclear Physics Postdoctoral and a Full Time Physics Postdoctoral lies in specialization. Nuclear physics postdocs focus specifically on nuclear phenomena, requiring specialized knowledge and equipment, while general physics postdocs cover a wider range of physics topics. Both roles typically require a PhD and involve research in academic or research institutions, but their scope and focus differ significantly.

Position Summary
Postdoctoral Position in Theoretical Nuclear/Hadronic Physics at Indiana University
The Nuclear Theory Group in the Department of Physics at Indiana University Bloomington (IU) invites applications for a postdoctoral research position under the supervision of Dr. Sebastian Dawid. The appointment will initially be for two years, with the possibility of renewal for a third year subject to satisfactory performance and the availability of funding. The start date is flexible and may be arranged by mutual agreement.
The position is intended for a researcher interested in developing new theoretical and computational approaches to the strong interaction. Possible directions include the extraction and interpretation of hadronic observables in few-body and multichannel scattering, applications of effective field theories to nuclear and hadronic systems, and formal developments in scattering theory or lattice field theory. The successful candidate will also be encouraged to pursue independent research directions and to collaborate across the IU Nuclear Theory Group.
The IU Nuclear Theory Group consists of four faculty members, several postdoctoral researchers, and graduate students. Current research areas include: hadronic amplitude analysis and scattering theory, heavy-ion collisions and the properties of hot QCD matter, hadronic probes of beyond-the-Standard-Model physics, and formal developments in lattice QCD. IU Physics Department also maintains strong ties to leading hadronic and nuclear physics experiments.
A Ph.D. in theoretical high-energy or nuclear physics is required by the time of appointment. Research experience in one or more relevant areas, including lattice QCD, effective field theory, and hadronic/nuclear scattering, is preferred.
Applications, including a CV, a statement of research interests and plans, and three letters of reference, should be submitted through the application portal located at: https://indiana.peopleadmin.com/postings/30550
Review of applications will begin on November 15th, 2026, and will continue until the position is filled. For questions about the position, please contact Dr. Sebastian Dawid (sdawid@iu.edu) or the IU Physics Department (812-855-1247).
The College of Arts and Sciences is committed to building and supporting a diverse, inclusive, and equitable community of students and scholars. Indiana University is an equal opportunity employer and provider of ADA services and prohibits discrimination in hiring.

Basic Qualifications
A Ph.D. in theoretical high-energy or nuclear physics is required by time of appointment. Research experience in one or more relevant areas, including lattice QCD, effective field theory, hadronic/nuclear scattering, is preferred.
