Position Description
SISSA, the Scuola Internazionale Superiore di Studi Avanzati in Trieste, invites expressions of interest for a faculty position in theoretical high energy physics from outstanding scientists with a strong research record on mathematical and geometrical aspects of quantum field theory and/or string theory. The appointment procedure will be activated at the assistant professor (tenure-track*) or at the associate professor (tenured) level, depending on the stage of academic career of the candidates. The successful candidate is expected to work as an independent principal investigator, promoting and leading research activities to complement the current expertise of the present SISSA faculty members, as well as to attract external funds, take an active part in the SISSA PhD teaching programme, and supervise graduate students (selected on a competitive basis and funded by bursaries provided by SISSA). Expressions of interest should be sent (in English and via Academic Jobs Online only) preferably by May 31 2025. They should include: 1. Curriculum Vitae and at least three reference letters. 2. Description of current research interests. 3. Publication list, indicating the eight publications of greatest interest for the selection. The International School for Advanced Studies (SISSA) is a leading research and training institution located in Trieste, Italy. Teaching is only at graduate level. The campus is in a green area on the hills close to Trieste and is efficiently connected to the city by public transport. SISSA offers to its community first rate research facilities (e.g. High Performance Computing facilities) and services (canteen and kindergarten services located on site). SISSA has connections with the International Centre for Theoretical Physics (ICTP), the National Institute for Nuclear Physics (INFN) and the University of Trieste (UNITS). SISSA is also a founding member of several research Institutes such as IFPU and IGAP. SISSA is an inclusive institution and we warmly welcome all expressions of interest, irrespective of gender, sexual orientation, religion, ethnicity, or political orientation. Expressions of interest are particularly welcome from individuals belonging to communities and social groups that are underrepresented in STEM academia. *In the Italian system, a tenure-track position corresponds to a "ricercatore RTT", i.e. an assistant professor to be confirmed (on the sole basis of her/his results) as a tenured associate professor since three years after appointment.Application Materials Required:
