Position Description:
   

A number of postdoctoral positions will be available in ICTP's High Energy, Cosmology and Astroparticle Physics (HECAP) section with an expected starting date in October 2025. 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 D-branes, Black Holes, Gauge/string theory duality, Conformal Field Theories, 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, 11 postdoctoral researchers, a number of associated faculty members from other institutions as well a up to 200 short/long-term visitors per year.
