The Physics Division of the GSSI – Gran Sasso Science Institute (L’Aquila, Italy) is opening 10 PhD positions in Astroparticle Physics, starting in the Academic Year 2026/2027.
Two additional PhD positions are offered through the FIS project Deep Loop Shaping for Gravitational-wave Detection, and another position through the AstroCent+ project on dark-matter searches with DarkSide-20k.
The research pursued by the Physics Division focuses on neutrinos, gravitational waves, dark matter detection, and cosmic rays.
The Gravitational-Wave Group is active in the LVK, ET, LGWA, and LISA collaborations. Its research activities are in instrument science, data analysis, waveform and population modelling, multi-messenger and transient astrophysics, stellar evolution and dynamics.
The applications must be submitted by May 28, 2026, 3:00 p.m. (Central European Time) through the online form available at the following link http://www.gssi.it/phd/ , where the call (both in Italian and English) can also be found.
