Paolo Creminelli

The International Centre for Theoretical Physics (ICTP) in Trieste is offering several postdoctoral positions in its High Energy, Cosmology and Astroparticle Physics (HECAP) section, with an expected start in October 2027. The research environment spans a broad range of theoretical and phenomenological topics, including string theory, black holes, gauge/string duality, particle phenomenology beyond the Standard Model, dark matter, axions, Higgs and collider physics, neutrino physics, astrophysics, cosmology, and topological field theories. The section is a large, active group with staff members, postdoctoral researchers, emeritus scientists, associated faculty, and many visitors each year. Some of the positions will be tied to Paolo Creminelli’s ERC-supported BestLobe project, and postdocs working on cosmology and astroparticle physics will also take part in the initiatives of the IFPU , a collaboration linking ICTP, SISSA, the Trieste Observatory, and INFN. HECAP researchers maintain close collaborations with SISSA, the University of Trieste, INFN Trieste, the Trieste Observatory, and the University of Udine, and the section is also active in the ATLAS experiment at the CERN LHC.
