3 postdoctoral research positions in experimental astroparticle physics at the Gran Sasso Science Institute

We invite applications for three postdoctoral research positions in experimental astroparticle physics at the Gran Sasso Science Institute.

The successful candidates will join the group that includes faculty members, postdocs and students currently involved in the study of cosmic radiations with space-based detectors, e.g. DAMPE, HERD and R&D for future CR and gamma missions. At GSSI the fellow will experience an exciting atmosphere with scientists involved in other areas, such as theoretical cosmic-ray physics, underground physics, gravitational waves and multi-messenger astronomy. Part of the activities will also be carried out in the external facilities of the nearby INFN-LNGS laboratories and might also be in other research institutions collaborating with GSSI on specific projects.

The appointment has a duration of two years, preferably starting in the Fall of 2021.

The applications must be submitted to GSSI, only through the online application platform: https://applications.gssi.it/postdoc/ A PhD in physics or astronomy is required. Experience in data analysis/simulation and/or detector design/test would be appreciated.

GSSI is committed to gender balance, inclusion and diversity. All applications will be given proper consideration, independent of ethnicity, religion, age, gender, sexual orientation, or disability.

Applications should include:

• a curriculum vitae, including the complete list of publications;
• a research statement
• three selected publications which will be evaluated individually. The PhD thesis can be included as one of the publications;
• a valid ID document;
• the names of up to two external referees that should send their letters through the same platform used for the application.
