Tenure-track Assistant Professor in Theoretical Physics or Theoretical Astrophysics

The Department of Physics at Stanford University is seeking applications for a tenure-track Assistant Professor in all areas of theoretical physics or theoretical astrophysics, broadly construed. Areas of interest include, but are not limited to, theoretical astrophysics, condensed matter physics, cosmology, high energy physics, particle physics, quantum field theory, quantum gravity, quantum information, and the interface between physics and other fields such as computer science and mathematics.

Reasons to use Rodeo

I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?

Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.

Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.

Start with a chat, not a search bar

Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
