The particle physics phenomenology groups of Pisa, Firenze, and Roma are expecting to open several postdoctoral positions with a starting date in autumn 2024 (earlier appointments are also possible), and duration of 2 years.

The positions will be awarded in the context of a joint research grant between INFN and the universities of Roma Tre and Padova, with main focus on particle physics phenomenology and in particular dark matter, flavour physics, collider physics, and physics at high-intensity experiments. More generally, the research interests of our groups cover a broader variety of topics in theoretical physics, including BSM physics in general, astroparticle physics, cosmology, and quantum field theory.

Each position will be based either in Pisa, Firenze, or Rome, but there will be opportunities for close interaction and collaboration between the groups. Applicants will be considered eligible for all the positions, but preferences for one or more institutions can be expressed in the “Research interests” section of the application form, or in the cover letter.

Potential candidates should submit their CV, list of publications, a statement of research interests, and have three letters of recommendation uploaded through the Academic Jobs Online portal. For full consideration all the material should be received by January 7, 2024.
