About this position

PhD positions are open in the National Doctoral Program in Space Science and Technology, specifically within the Space sensing and instrumentation curriculum.

Project title: (5E) Multimessenger observation of UHE neutral messengers.

Operational site: University of Palermo (UNIPA).

Research focus: The project investigates searches for ultra-high-energy photons and neutrinos as counterparts of transient astronomical events, including compact-object mergers, massive-star explosions, and jets from supermassive black holes in active galaxies. The work emphasizes synergies between ground-based and space-based observatories, external triggers for telescopes, and multimessenger follow-up.

Methods and context: The research will combine simulations and real data and may involve experiments and observatories such as the Pierre Auger Observatory, KM3NeT, the Cherenkov Telescope Array Observatory, FERMI, and DAMPE.

Supervisor: Giovanni Marsella (University of Palermo).

Deadline: 2026-07-20.

Application: Use the call link provided in the post for full details and application instructions. Informal inquiries may be sent to [email protected].
