Several postdoctoral positions will be available in ICTP’s High Energy, Cosmology and Astroparticle Physics (HECAP) section with an expected starting date in October 2024. Appointments will be for 2+1 years. Postdocs working on cosmology and astroparticle physics will also participate in the initiatives of the IFPU (Institute for the Fundamental Physics of the Universe), a collaboration between ICTP, the International School for Advanced Studies (SISSA), the Trieste Observatory and INFN.
HECAP members are currently working on: String theory including Black Holes, Gauge/string theory duality, Phenomenological String theory/M-theory; Particle Phenomenology including Physics beyond the Standard Model, Dark Matter, Axions, Higgs and Collider physics, Neutrino physics and astrophysics; Cosmology including Large Scale Structures, Physics of the Early Universe, Present Acceleration; Topological field theories and Localization.
The section presently comprises 8 staff members, 5 emeritus scientists, 13 postdoctoral researchers, a number of associated faculty members from other institutions as well a up to 200 short/long-term visitors per year. Further information can be found at https://www.ictp.it/hecap
There is also a close collaborations between ICTP scientists and SISSA, the Departments of Theoretical Physics of the Trieste University, the Trieste section of the INFN, the Trieste Observatory and the University of Udine. HECAP is also actively involved in the ATLAS experiment at the CERN LHC.
This year an extra position will be available under the ERC Starting Grant of Joan Elias Miro, titled X-HEP. Further details on the project can be found at https://cordis.europa.eu/project/id/101039756
Established in 1978, Scuola Internazionale Superiore di Studi Avanzati (International School for Advanced Studies) is a non-profit public higher education institution located in the suburban setting of the large town of Trieste (population range of 50,000-249,999 inhabitants), Friuli Venezia Giulia. Officially accredited and/or recognized by the Ministero dell'Istruzione, dell'Università e della Ricerca, Italia (Ministry of Education, Universities and Research, Italy), Scuola Internazionale Superiore di Studi Avanzati (SISSA) is a very small (uniRank enrollment range: 250-499 students) coeducational higher education institution. Scuola Internazionale Superiore di Studi Avanzati (SISSA) offers courses and programs leading to officially recognized higher education degrees such as master degrees, doctorate degrees in several areas of study. See the uniRank degree levels and areas of study matrix below for further details. This 41 years old higher-education institution has a selective admission policy based on entrance examinations and students' past academic record and grades. The admission rate range is 0-10% making this Italian higher education organization a most selective institution. International applicants are eligible to apply for enrollment.
