Ben,
Welcome to StackExchange!
Page Templates are only able to be defined in the Page post type (“Pages” in the WP-admin).
You can edit your theme (or create a child theme) to define how your post pages are displayed. Depending on your needs you could define an archive.php, category.php or index.php in your theme and then write the PHP/HTML necessary to display your posts the way you’d like. You can find more information on that here:
https://developer.wordpress.org/themes/template-files-section/page-template-files/#page-templates-within-the-template-hierarchy
Hope this help.
