The ICTP South American Institute for Fundamental Research (ICTP-SAIFR) announces the opening of two Simons-FAPESP tenure-track research professor positions to begin in 2024, with the first in connections of physics to biology and the second in all other areas related to theoretical physics. The international search committee is chaired by Michael Green (Cambridge) and includes William Bialek (Princeton), Ray Goldstein (Cambridge), Simon Levin (Princeton) and José Nelson Onuchic (Rice) in areas related to biology, and Leticia Cugliandolo (Sorbonne), Scott Dodelson (Carnegie Mellon), Eduardo Fradkin (Illinois at Urbana-Champaign) and David Gross (KITP) in all other areas.Read More »Two Simons-FAPESP Research Professor Positions at ICTP

The ICTP South American Institute for Fundamental Research invites proposals of 2025 activities organized by ICTP-SAIFR at either IFT-UNESP or Instituto Principia in São Paulo, Brazil. (External ICTP-SAIFR activities organized at other locations can receive organizational support but not financial support.) All activities will be organized in a hybrid format where the speakers are in-person but participants can either be in-person or online. The 2025 activities will include schools and minicourses for Master´s and PhD students, short workshops and long programs for researchers, and outreach activities for the general public and high-school students and teachers.

To increase synergy between related activities, the calendar of 2025 activities will be divided into 3 general research areas which will occur in different 4-month periods of the year. From January-April, preference will be given to activities related to the Physics of Life (biological physics, complex systems, climate science, medical physics, etc.). From May-August, preference will be given to activities related to Fundamental Physics (particle physics, mathematics, field and string theory, cosmology, etc.). And from September-December, preference will be given to activities related to Computational and Quantum Physics (quantum optics, data science, machine learning, quantum materials, etc.)Read More »Call for Proposals of ICTP-SAIFR 2025 Activities
