The DArk Matter, AStroparticles and COsmology (DAMASCO) group at the Instituto de Fisica Teorica (IFT UAM-CSIC) and the Department of Theoretical Physics at Universidad Autónoma de Madrid welcomes applications to carry out either a PhD or a postdoc in our group, with a focus on dark matter searches, astroparticle physics and cosmology:

1) "La Caixa INPhINIT international" PhD positions

  • Basic info: 3-years PhD positions. Suitable candidates hold a M.Sc. degree in Particle Physics or Astrophysics by September 2022. They should have spent no more than 12 months in Spain in the 3 years just before the starting date (‘incoming’ modality) or the other way around (‘retaining’ modality).
  • Deadline: January 27th 2022 (for ‘incoming’) and February 16th 2022 (for ‘retaining’). All application info: https://fundacionlacaixa.org/en/inphinit-doctoral-fellowships-call (Our project title is “Towards the identification of Dark Matter: particle models and experimental searches”, contact person D. Cerdeño) 

2) Postdoc: "Juan de la Cierva-Formación"

  • Basic info: 2-years contract. Suitable candidates must have obtained their PhD between January 1st 2020 and December 31st 2021. Applicants will only know if they are successful around the summer of 2022 (this program is run directly by the Spanish government).

Our DAMASCO group is member of both the Fermi LAT Collaboration and of the Cherenkov Telescope Array (CTA) Consortium, and recently joined the DESI Collaboration. The students/postdocs are expected to join and develop a significant fraction of their work within of these collaborations. The group has also broad expertise in the analysis of N-body cosmological simulation data, as well as an excellent record/network of collaborations with (local, national and international) experts in astroparticle physics and cosmology.

See https://projects.ift.uam-csic.es/damasco/ for further information about the group members and group research activities.

We encourage interested candidates to contact us (miguel.sanchezconde@uam.es) as soon as possible. Further inquiries about any of the above positions are also welcome.
