Postdoctoral research grant on the Field Theory of Gravity, Cosmology and BHs

Non-Italian citizens, or Italian citizens who have been continuously abroad for at least three years, who are interested in joining our group can apply for a research grant from INFN until November 15, 2024. Fellowships are awarded for a maximum duration of two years, with an annual net salary ranging from 27 to 32 k€. For detailed information, please download the INFN call from the link below. The online application procedure can be accessed at https://reclutamento.dsi.infn.it/ by searching for call number 27076.

This is a nationwide call for 15 positions. Applicants interested in a postdoctoral position in our group should select Catania as the host institution. Feel free to contact us in advance for assistance with preparing your application.

The research endeavors within the Catania team primarily focus on exploring Quantum Field Theory (QFT) and Statistical Physics with applications in Early Universe cosmology, black hole physics, and gravity. Over the years, we have dedicated significant effort to developing various analytical and numerical approaches to the Wilsonian Renormalization Group to explore theories that exhibit a non-trivial continuum limit. Additionally, our work encompasses investigating the astrophysical consequences of modified gravity theories in various contexts, ranging from neutron stars (NS) to black holes (BH) and gravitational waves (GWs).
