There is a new opening for PhD positions at IFT, involving five positions associated to the Severo Ochoa Excellence Center grant. Candidates are expected to carry out a PhD in one of the strategic research lines of the IFT, which include particle phenomenology, astroparticle physics, nuclear theory, string theory, gravitation and cosmology, lattice and quantum field theory, and quantum information theory.
The reference codes of the fellowships are:
The fellowships will cover a four-year period, with conditions as specified in the Ministry call. This includes a competitive salary and full health insurance. Selected candidates will be included in IFT grants, which provide additional funds for scientific visits, attendance to advanced schools and workshops, and other training activities.
IFT is an equal opportunity institution. Applications to this program by female scientists are particularly encouraged.
Application procedure:
Fully detailed information about the call (in Spanish) can be found at this link
A short guide in English to the application page can be found here
Applications have to be filed through the webpage of the Spanish Ministry of Science, Innovation, and Universities:
The application period is from 28 October to 11 November 2021 (hard deadline at 14:00 CET of the closing day).
Candidates are expected to provide:
– A copy of the passport.
– An updated CV, either in English or Spanish.
– A certificate of academic degrees and (if available) a certificate of the Masters degree, both indicating:
• Issue date.
• List of subjects and grades, with the dates when they were obtained.
• For degrees from non-Spanish universities, certificates must include basic information about the interpretation of grades (maximum and minimum values, and passing grade).
If a certificate is not complete because some grades are not available, a partial certificate can be provided as well. What is important is that the candidate holds an academic degree that grants access to a PhD program at the time of formalisation of the contract.
An official translation should be provided for titles not issued in Spanish or English.
Candidates should have an excellent academic track record. We encourage them to send an expression of interest directly to the IFT, through the form:
This will help our assessing of interested candidates. We stress however that the expression of interest is NOT a formal application, and the latter has still to be filed at the Ministry webpage as described above.
Should you need any further information or assistance concerning the application, please contact phdgrants.ift@csic.es.
Deadline:
Thursday, 11 November, 2021 – 2:00pm
El Ministerio de Ciencia e Innovación ha publicado hoy la resolución provisional en la que el Instituto de Física Teórica IFT UAM-CSIC renueva su Sello de Excelencia por 4 años más. El IFT fue galardonado con la Distinción Severo Ochoa por primera vez en su edición 2012. La financiación del Programa Severo Ochoa del IFT, SO (IFT), comenzó el 1 de Julio de 2013 y finalizará el 31 de Diciembre de 2025, incluyendo esta extensión.
Solo unos pocos centros de investigación en España han recibido esta financiación por tercera vez.

The Institute for Theoretical Physics (IFT) in Madrid is offering PhD positions for talented Early Stage Researchers within the framework of the Doctoral INPhINIT “la Caixa” fellowships, in the fields of Particle Physics, Astroparticles and Cosmology.
These are 3 year PhD positions, cofunded by the EU Marie Sklodowska-Curie program, at the top scientific research centers in Spain, accredited with the Severo Ochoa excellence award. Candidates are expected to have completed their Master by October 2019, to start the PhD studies. (más…)
100xCiencia.3, the successor to last year’s 100xCiencia.2, is almost here. The subject of this year’s event will underscore the importance of scientific education, citizen science and the participation of society in the present and future of science. The 100xciencia.3, co-organized by CNIO and SOMMa, will gather together SOMMa members and other attendees to share ongoing projects on science education, citizen science and public engagement that can encourage society and us to continue working together. Different stakeholders relevant for science and society will participate in roundtables focused on timely and important topics.
