The particle physics phenomenology group at INFN Padova is expecting to open several postdoctoral positions with a starting date in Fall 2025, with a duration of 2+1 years subject to funding, to work on a wide set of topics. In particular, we are searching candidates to work on axion phenomenology and/or low-energy QCD in the group of Luca Di Luzio and on SMEFT phenomenology in the group of Ramona Gröber.

The INFN Section of Padua has a strong and exciting research program with interests in all fields of high energy theory. There are close ties with the Department of Physics and Astronomy of the University of Padua. The high-energy theory group at the Department and INFN Padua includes F. D'Eramo, L. Di Luzio, M. Fael, F. Feruglio, R. Gröber, M. K. Mandal, A. Masiero, P. Mastrolia, P. Paradisi, M. Passera, M. Peloso, S. Rigolin, P. Sørensen, A. Titov, L. Vecchi, E. Vitagliano, F. Zwirner, plus several postdocs and students. We also maintain close ties to the research groups in string theory and cosmology. Further information about the Department can be found at https://www.dfa.unipd.it and information about the Theoretical Physics Group of INFN Padua can be found at https://www.pd.infn.it/it/gruppo-4/gruppo-iv-membri/.

Potential candidates should send their CV, list of publications and research statement in a single file via the google form 

The candidates should arrange to have three reference letters submitted to 

Priority will be given to candidates submitting their material before the 20th of January 2025.
