Introduction

- 8 scholarships;

- 1 scholarship co-funded by GSSI and INAF-OAAb for the following research project: “Dense stellar populations and compact object mergers from the large ground and space-based observatories”. The selected candidate will work on the funded research project under the supervision of two advisors: Dr. Michele Cantiello (external), Prof. Marica Branchesi (internal).

The research and Ph.D. in physics at the GSSI are focused on astroparticle physics. Astroparticle physics is an interdisciplinary and young research field, grown at the intersection of particle physics, nuclear physics, astrophysics, and cosmology. It addresses some of the most pressing and fundamental questions in science today: the origin and the evolution of our universe, the nature of dark matter and dark energy, the study of neutrinos and of the ultimate constituents of matter, the search for gravitational waves, the investigation and explanation of the cosmic rays.

Within the Ph.D. Program in Astroparticle Physics, it is possible to apply both for INAF-OAAb Project and for GSSI scholarships, by submitting two different applications.
