The IFT expects to have one or more openings for 5-year  positions under the Ramon y Cajal (RyC) program of the Spanish government, whose call for applications is now open. Candidates must apply directly to the Spanish Science Ministry, see official call webpage

Application Period: From December 10th 2020 to January 21th 2021

The IFT UAM-CSIC welcomes applications for a 1+1 postdoctoral position in theoretical cosmology and particle physics starting in autumn 2021 (earlier start possible). The position will be funded by the Atracción de Talento research grant (2017-T1/TIC-5520) held by Guillermo Ballesteros. The initial appointment will be for one year, with the second contingent to the availability of funds.

The Institute for Theoretical Physics (IFT) in Madrid is offering PhD positions for talented Early Stage Researchers within the framework of the "la Caixa" doctoral INPhINIT fellowships, in the fields of Particle Physics, Astroparticles and Cosmology.

The doctoral INPhINIT Fellowship programme aims to support the best scientific talent —of any nationality— and foster innovative and high-quality research in Spain and Portugal by recruiting outstanding international researchers and offering them an attractive and competitive environment for conducting research of excellence.

The four positions offered now are intended to carry research in phenomenology of particle physics. The positions will be based at Univ. Autónoma de Madrid (UAM)-IFT (Madrid, Spain), INFN-TS ( Italy), CNRS (Univ. of Paris-Saclay, France) and Univ. of Valencia-IFIC (Valencia, Spain).

The deadline for applications is December 2 2020. All applications must be sent through the web page https://hiddeneu.eu/ , exclusively.

It is a pleasure to announce the opening of a three-year postdoctoral position in theoretical cosmology at IFT CSIC/UAM, Madrid. The position is supported by funds from the 2019-T1/TIC-15784 “Atracción de Talento” grant held by Dr. Matteo R. Fasiello.

The focus area will be early universe physics and in particular the investigation of the inflationary particle content, pairing up model-building constraints with observational signatures (including primordial gravitational waves). Dr. Fasiello is actively involved in the LISA Collaboration.

The Institute for Theoretical Physics IFT CSIC/UAM (https://www.ift.uam-csic.es/en) welcomes applications to postdoctoral positions, starting October 2021, under various  programs:

There is a new opening for PhD positions at the IFT, including three positions associated to the Severo Ochoa Excellence Center grant and another one associated to a PID grant. Candidates are expected to carry out a PhD in one of the strategic research lines of the IFT, which include particle phenomenology, astroparticle physics, nuclear theory, string theory, gravitation and cosmology, lattice and quantum field theory, and quantum information theory.

The Astroparticle group at the Institute for Theoretical Physics, IFT UAM-CSIC (Madrid, Spain) invites applications for a post-doctoral position. The selected candidate will join the group of Prof. David G. Cerdeño to work on aspects related to the direct detection of light dark matter, coherent neutrino scattering, and machine learning tools, applied to dark matter searches within the SuperCDMS collaboration.
