The Instituto Galego de Física de Altas Enerxías (IGFAE), a center accredited as a María de Maeztu Unit of Excellence and member of the CIGUS network of the Xunta de Galicia, is offering 10 contracts for obtaining professional practice. Through this call, and during the coming months, the selected people will be able to begin their research career in the Institute’s facilities, with a scientific tutor assigned by the IGFAE. These contracts allow access to advanced training, with the vision of continuing the research career with a doctoral thesis.
The work carried out within the framework of this training will contribute to the scientific areas in which the IGFAE is an international reference, integrating into the daily work of some of the main experimental facilities and theoretical physics collaborations in the areas of High Energy Physics and Nuclear Physics.
Application deadline: until Tuesday, April 22, 2025

About IGFAE
The Instituto Galego de Física de Altas Enerxías (IGFAE) at the Universidade de Santiago de Compostela (USC) is a research institute accredited as María de Maeztu Unit of Excellence by the Spanish Ministry of Science in the periods 2017-2021 and 2024-2030. The IGFAE also takes part in the Xunta de Galicia’s CIGUS network of centres of excellence, which accredits the quality and impact of its research. It hosts around 130 researchers, including more than 20 postdocs and 50 PhD students. Researchers at IGFAE participate in experimental facilities such as CERN, LIGO, GSI/FAIR, GANIL, FRIB and the Pierre Auger Observatory. IGFAE has strong programs in both experimental and theoretical physics.
The scientific research of the Institute is organized around three areas that are the basis for the strategic planning: The Standard Model to the Limits; Cosmic Particles and Fundamental Physics; and Nuclear Physics from the Lab to Improve People’s Health.
IGFAE provides a highly stimulating environment and unique professional career development opportunities. We offer additional training to enhance future employability and career success of our researchers including technology transfer, entrepreneurship, dissemination, and equity/diversity perspective.
IGFAE is an Equal Opportunity Employer and particularly welcomes applications from under-represented groups in terms of gender identity, ethnic or social origin, disability, or any other characteristic.
