The Gran Sasso Science Institute (GSSI) invites applications for a tenure-track position at the Assistant Professor level (equivalent to “RTT” in the Italian academic system). This is a tenure-track appointment with a clearly defined path to tenure within three to six years, based on performance.
The selected candidate is expected to carry out high-level research in the field of gravitational-wave observations, with particular emphasis on astrophysics, fundamental physics, and multi-messenger astrophysics. Applicants must demonstrate solid and proven experience in advanced data analysis and theoretical-numerical modeling of gravitational-wave sources.
Interested candidates are invited to submit their applications by November 6, 2025 (23:59 CET time).
The call announcement is published here, and the full text of the call for applications is available at the following link.
GSSI is an international PhD school and a center for advanced research and higher education in Physics, Mathematics, Computer Science, and Social Sciences. The Physics Division hosts scientists conducting cutting-edge research in areas such as gravitational waves, multi-messenger and high-energy astrophysics, cosmology, dark matter detection, and neutrinoless double beta decay.
Each year, the GSSI admits approximately 10–15 physics PhD students from a highly competitive pool of applicants worldwide. Faculty members are actively involved in both teaching and supervising students’ research, particularly in the field of Astroparticle Physics.
The gravitational-wave group at GSSI comprises around 30 researchers, including PhD students, postdoctoral fellows, and 8 faculty members.
