FAPESP Postdoctoral Positions in Classical Gravity and Cosmology

The ICTP South American Institute for Fundamental Research (ICTP-SAIFR), located at the campus of the Instituto de Física Teórica (IFT-UNESP) in São Paulo, announces the opening of one or more FAPESP postdoctoral positions to begin any time in 2023 in the area of classical gravity and cosmology.

ICTP-SAIFR has a strong gravity group with faculty members Rogerio Rosenfeld and Riccardo Sturani, and a large group of associate members  and postdocs and graduate students. IFT-UNESP is near the universities of USP and UFABC which also have very strong cosmology groups, making São Paulo a vibrant research location.
