Theoretical High Energy Phenomenology - ERC REINVENT (AJO-10387) - Postdoc at Milan Bicocca U.

 

The main scientific focus of the project will be on Higher-Order calculations, Resummation and Monte Carlo event generation. 

 

The Postdoc positions would be initially for two years, with the possibility of a third-year extension. 

The Senior Postdoc position, which is reserved for more accomplished researchers with a clear record of independent research and achievements, will be for up to five years. 

The research interests of the Theory Group at Milan-Bicocca & INFN cover a wide variety of subjects including Collider Phenomenology, Lattice QCD, String Theory, Statistical Physics, and Cosmology. There are currently 15 faculty members, 10 Postdocs, and 10 Ph.D. students. A total of 5/6 new postdocs and 3/4 new Ph.D. students are expected to join next Fall, making the research environment very dynamic. Close collaboration exists with the local CMS and LHCb experimental groups and with the Phenomenology group at the University of Milan. 

 

The salary range for the Postdoc positions is competitive with European standards (approximate salary 26-28 kEuro/year after taxes) and more attractive for the Senior Postdoc (34-36 kEuro/year after taxes). 

A generous travel allowance is also foreseen.
