We invite expressions of interest for postdoctoral positions at the Italian Institute for Nuclear Physics (INFN) in Rome, Italy. The postdoctoral positions will be funded under the European Research Council Starting Grant (ERC StG) GravitySirens. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The postdocs will join the research group led by Dr. Simone Mastrogiovanni and will focus on gravitational-wave cosmology with dark standard sirens. The research group currently has 4 PhD students, 2 postdocs, and 3 master’s students. INFN Rome is located inside Sapienza University, one of the largest Universities in Europe. Postdocs will have the opportunity to join the Virgo, Einstein Telescope, and Euclid groups in Rome. The INFN Virgo Rome group has about 35 researchers, including PhD students, postdocs, and 18 faculty.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We are particularly eager to receive expressions of interest from candidates with experience in (i) Galaxy surveys from current facilities such as Vera Rubin LSST, Euclid, the Dark Energy Survey, (ii) Galaxy field-level inference and (iii) cosmological inference with cross-correlation of Large Scale Structure tracers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The postdoctoral positions are expected to start in 2027 and can be from 2 to 3 years depending on availability. All candidates must hold or soon be completing a Ph.D. in Physics, Astronomy or Astrophysics. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Interested candidates should send (i) a motivation letter, (ii) a curriculum vitae, indicating the date the PhD was or will be awarded (iii) a research statement, and (iv) two contacts for reference letters. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
