International Centre for Theoretical Physics (ICTP) Postdoc Fellowship 2024

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

About International Centre for Theoretical Physics (ICTP)

For more than 50 years, the Abdus Salam International Centre for Theoretical Physics (ICTP) has been a driving force behind global efforts to advance scientific expertise in the developing world. Founded in 1964 by the late Nobel Laureate Abdus Salam, ICTP seeks to accomplish its mandate by providing scientists from developing countries with the continuing education and skills that they need to enjoy long and productive careers. ICTP has been a major force in stemming the scientific brain drain from the developing world. ICTP alumni serve as professors at major universities, chairpersons... read more
