Applications can be submitted through the links above, where a more detailed description of the desired research profiles is also available.

A few important points to keep in mind:

– Continued presence in Turin throughout the duration of the contract is required for all positions, in order to foster intellectual exchange among the projectโ€™s team members, which over five years will include six postdoctoral fellows and two doctoral students.

– Although the positions are formally advertised as 2-year postdoctoral contracts (โ€œContratto di ricercaโ€), they are in fact renewable contracts structured as 2+1 years.

– Although mentioned in the general call for applications, knowledge of Italian is desirable but not strictly necessary. The language requirements are fluency in English for all positions and passive knowledge of Latin for positions 1 and 3.

– It is expected that the positions will begin on October 1, 2026.
