Open research position in Theoretical Physics - Pisa, Italy
11 July 2017
The University of Pisa (Italy) has issued a call for one researcher position in Theoretical Physics within the Department of Physics "E. Fermi". The position is open to any researcher in the field of theoretical nuclear physics, high-energy physics, including lattice QCD and string theory, mathematical physics, and statistical physics. The deadline for application is July 31, 2017. We ask you to spread this information among your colleagues and potential strong candidates, especially in those working in theoretical nuclear physics.
The researcher (type "ricercatore universitario di tipo b - senior" - RTDb) will have a full time contract for the duration of three years with mainly research duties and some teaching duties (essentially one course per year, about 80 hours of teaching). At the end of the three years, if the researcher has obtained the "abilitazione scientifica nazionale" (national scientific abilitation, see http://abilitazione.miur.it/public/index.php?lang=eng or http://abilitazione.miur.it/public/index.php?lang=ita), she/he will be automatically hired by the University of Pisa as associate professor. Therefore, this RTDb position is equivalent to a tenure track position, by international standards.
