Please share the following announcement with potentially interested
candidates.

%%%%%%%%%
We expect to open several postdoctoral positions to work in the gravity
theory and gravitational-wave phenomenology group at Sapienza University of
Rome https://web.uniroma1.it/gmunu . Successful candidates will join the *FIS
project 'ET-NOW: Fundamental Physics, Nuclear Physics, and Cosmology with
the Einstein Telescope' *(PI: Paolo Pani) recently funded by the Italian
Ministry for Research.

Candidates with expertise in gravitational-wave modeling, numerical
relativity, science interpretation and data analysis, and with interests in
cosmology, nuclear, high-energy physics & gravity are particularly
encouraged to apply.

The appointment is for 2+1 years (extension subject to funding renewal and
satisfactory performance), with a net salary competitive with international
standards. All candidates must hold (or soon be completing) a Ph.D. in
Physics. Although flexible, the positions are expected to start typically
in Sep 2025; but earlier start dates (as early as March 2025) can also be
considered. Screening of the applications will begin in late December 2024
and will continue until the positions are filled.

The research activities of the gmunu group include gravitational-wave
modeling and phenomenology, black-hole and neutron-star physics, tests of
gravity and of the nature of compact objects, and strong-gravity searches
for dark matter. Group members are also expected to get involved in other
activities such as training of students, networking, workshop & meeting
organization, etc.

The gmunu group currently includes the PI, Prof. Paolo Pani, 6 postdocs and
5 PhD students. Successful candidates will directly collaborate also with
Prof. Francesco Pannarale (GW modelling and data analysis), Prof. Alfredo
Urbano (Beyond the standard model theory and phenomenology; cosmology and
physics of the primordial universe), and their students. Project members
are also expected to interact with the ET experimental and GW data-analysis
group [https://web.infn.it/VirgoRoma/index.php/en/] and with the INFN Rome
Theory group [https://theory.roma1.infn.it/ ] at Sapienza, and to actively
take part of the activities of the ET Observational Science Board.

The Department of Physics at Sapienza is a vibrant work environment which
hosts renowned research groups in several areas of physics, including
gravitational-wave science, cosmology, and high-energy physics. In 2024 it
ranked 12th among all Physics Departments worldwide and first in Italy,
according to the Shanghai Global Ranking.
