Postdoctoral positions at ICTP-SAIFR

The ICTP South American Institute for Fundamental Research (ICTP-SAIFR), located at the campus of the Instituto de Física Teórica (IFT-UNESP) in Sao Paulo, announces the opening of several FAPESP postdoctoral positions to begin in 2025. The initial hiring is for 2 years, and successful postdoctoral researchers will be able to extend the position for 3 years, and in exceptional cases for 4 years.

The FAPESP postdoctoral fellowships pay an annual tax-free salary of 144,000 Brazilian reais as well as 12,000 reais for moving costs and 14,400 reais per year for research expenses. Postdocs will also receive ICTP-SAIFR funds for travel to conferences, to invite visitors, and to organize schools and workshops.

Review of applications will begin in October 2024 and will continue until all positions have been filled. Although there is no strict application deadline, candidates are strongly encouraged to send applications before December 15, 2024 by filling out the online application form here.

Candidates will need to supply some biographical information and their curriculum vitae with publication list, research project, and the email addresses of 3 researchers who can write recommendation letters. Candidates do not need to include grade transcripts in the application form. Any questions on filling out the online application form should be sent to secretary@ictp-saifr.org
