The University of Milano-Bicocca is one of the top universities in Italy and it is located in the modern and international city of Milan. Below you can find more information on how to study with us (Master and PhD courses in English) and on job opportunities to work within our group.
The following video, prepared by the University of Milano-Bicocca, shows a journey to discover the campus between laboratories, research activities, outreach, spaces dedicated to sport, technology, innovation and sustainability.
Master
We offer an international Master Course in Astrophysics and Space Physics. The master lasts for two years and all lectures are held in English. The last 8 months are dedicated to working on an original research project leading to a master thesis to be defended in front of a committee. Information on how to get admitted can be found here.
PhD
Every year a number of PhD fellowships is offered for enrolling in the PhD in Physics and Astronomy (starting on November 1st of each year). The call is published on the Doctoral School web page. The selection is based on the candidate CV and on an interview. The interviews are typically held between May and June.
Information on how to apply can be found here.
Job Opportunities
Other Opportunities
We are available to host fellowship holders of national and European calls, such as:
- Marie Skłodowska-Curie Fellowship (for post-doc positions)
- Rita Levi di Montalcini (for tenure-track positions)
We also remark that holders of ERC grants may also get a position as associate (for starting grants) or full professor (for consolidator and advanced grants) in our group. The overheads in the budget are typically almost completely returned to the PI as the university of Milano-Bicocca retains only a small fraction of them. The typical cost for hiring a 2-year postdoc is approximately 80 k EUR and 60 k EUR for a 3-year PhD student.
Tenure-track position in astrophysics (RTD-B)
As part of the “Department of Excellence” initiative, we are hiring a new faculty member at the level of RTD-B (tenure-track assistant professor). The successful candidate will join the Physics department and the newly-established BiCoQ centre, and is expected to take a lead role in the development of a successful research programme within the “ARMONIA” line of BiCoQ. The candidate will also engage in teaching activities with the department.
Further details of the position, including how to apply, can be found at this link. We are committed to have a welcoming and professional work environment where everyone has the opportunity to pursue a successful academic career, and we encourage applications from all qualified candidates.
The deadline for applications is on 27 Luglio 2023.
