SISSA post-doctoral positions (particle phenomenology and early universe)

The TPP group invites applications for a number of postdoctoral research positions. The appointments will start in the Fall of 2024, for a period of two years. Extensions to a third year are subject to the availability of funds.

The research interests covered by this call encompass a wide variety of topics including early universe physics, model building beyond the Standard Model, flavour physics, collider physics, and quantum field theory. Group staff members related to these topics include A. Azatov, D. Marzocca, and T. Opferkuch.

We have strong ties to other research groups in astroparticle physics, string theory, mathematical physics, statistical physics, and astrophysics, as well as to other institutions in the Trieste area such as INFN, ICTP, and IFPU.

Several positions are covered by SISSA and a PRIN grant, the review of applications will begin on December 10, 2023. Applications should be submitted through

https://academicjobsonline.org/ajo/jobs/26012

One position is covered by INFN funds and is targeted to non-Italian citizens or Italian nationals who have been continuously abroad since at least November 10th, 2020. The deadline for applying is November 10, 2023. A more detailed description and instructions can be found at

SISSA post-doctoral positions (String theory, QFT, QG and related topics)

The TPP group invites applications for several postdoctoral positions funded by the ERC Consolidator Grant "Non-perturbative Dynamics of Quantum Fields: from New Deconfined Phases of Matter to Quantum Black Holes” (PI: F. Benini), the FARE grant "The Emergence of Quantum Gravity from Strong Coupling Dynamics" (PI: F. Benini), and the ERC Starting Grant "The Celestial Road to a Holographic Description of Black Holes" (PI: L. Donnay).

The appointments will start in the Fall 2024 for a period of two years, extendable to a third year depending on performance. The successful applicants will be part of a vibrant research environment at the interface between string theory, non-perturbative quantum field theory, holography, quantum gravity, condensed matter physics and mathematical physics.

Permanent members related to the programs include Francesco Benini, Matteo Bertolini, Giulio Bonelli, Laura Donnay and Marco Serone. The group maintains close contacts with the HEP groups at the ICTP (including Bobby Acharya, Agnese Bissi, Atish Dabholkar, Mehrdad Mirbabayi, Joan Elias Miró, Pavel Putrov, Giovanni Villadoro), the INFN (Sergio Benvenuti) and the University of Trieste (Lorenzo di Pietro, Roberto Valandro, Michele Cirafici), as well as the Phenomenology, Astroparticle Physics, Statistical Physics (including Pasquale Calabrese and Erik Tonni), Mathematical Physics (including Alessandro Tanzini) and Condensed Matter Physics groups.

Candidates interested in the positions are invited to apply via the common European postdoc application website:

https://itf.fys.kuleuven.be/postdoc-application/

indicating SISSA among the preferred institutions. Applications should include CV, research statement, list of publications, and three letters of recommendation. To obtain full consideration, applications should be received by 17 December 2023.
