Position Description
The Theoretical High-Energy Physics Group at the University of Padua is looking to hire several postdoctoral fellows in the field of theoretical astroparticle physics. The successful candidates will work with Edoardo Vitagliano in the context of the project "Axions and Dark Sectors: Tests on EaRth and from Astrophysics", recently awarded by the Italian Science Fund. The starting date is expected to be in the fall of 2026 or earlier. The positions are expected to be for two years. The Department of Physics and Astronomy at the University of Padua has a strong and exciting research program with interests in all fields of high energy theory. The department keeps close ties with INFN and the positions will include an INFN association. The high-energy theory group at the Department and INFN Padua includes F. D'Eramo, L. Di Luzio, M. Fael, F. Feruglio, R. Gröber, M. K. Mandal, A. Masiero, P. Mastrolia, P. Paradisi, M. Passera, M. Peloso, S. Rigolin, P. Sørensen, A. Titov, L. Vecchi, E. Vitagliano, F. Zwirner, plus several postdocs and students. We also maintain close ties to the research groups in string theory and cosmology.
