Expressions of Interest sought for an ICREA Senior Position 2027 at the Institute of Cosmos Sciences of the University of Barcelona (ICCUB)

Dear nuclear physics colleagues,

We would like to bring to your attention an opportunity at the Institute of Cosmos Sciences of the University of Barcelona (ICCUB). Our Institute, a nationally recognized María de Maeztu Unit of Excellence in one of Europe's most dynamic cities, is inviting outstanding senior researchers to join our academic community through the ICREA programme (https://www.icrea.cat/icrea-call).

We are now looking for Expressions of Interest to this programme and we would welcome both theoretical and experimental profiles in nuclear physics.

We attach to this email a document with details on this process, summarised here:
• Expressions of Interest: established researchers in Experimental Sciences with a strong international track record (typically 10+ years post-PhD experience). Applications from women are especially encouraged.
• Research Focus: ICCUB hosts interdisciplinary fundamental research spanning nuclear physics, particle physics, quantum physics, cosmology, and high-energy astrophysics.
• Position Details: Permanent, full-time tenured positions as ICREA Research Professors based at ICCUB in Catalonia, Spain.
• Deadline for ICCUB Endorsement: November 1, 2026 for full consideration.

To apply, interested candidates must first contact a permanent ICCUB staff member as an internal sponsor. Javier Menéndez, Xavier Roca-Maza or Arnau Rios would be happy to assist in the process for experts in nuclear physics.

The ICCUB search committee will then evaluate proposals and reach a decision by the end of the year. More details on the pre-selection process and research areas are available in the attached document or https://inspirehep.net/jobs/3210713.

With best regards,

Dr Arnau Rios Huguet, on behalf of the Nuclear Theory Group
