Título: Fixed-term researcher position on AGN winds at OAS-Bologna
Centro: OAS-Bologna
Tipo: Postdoctoral
descripción:
The Astrophysics and Space Science Observatory (OAS) of Bologna, Italy, is advertising a fixed-term researcher position for two years, with the possibility of renewal for more years. The successful candidate will work with Dr. Giorgio Lanzuisi and the extragalactic/high-energy team at OAS on the search and characterization of AGN winds through X-ray and UV spectroscopy, from the local Universe to Cosmic Noon.
Link to the call:
https://www.oas.inaf.it/it/opportunities/bando-225-2025/
Job Description:
The successful candidate will study and characterize AGN nuclear winds, such as UltraFast Outflows (UFOs) in the X-rays and Broad/Narrow Absorption Lines (BAL/NAL) in the UV band, analyzing data from the Multi-year Heritage Program WISSHFUL (https://sites.google.com/inaf.it/wisshfulproject), which focuses on the most luminous QSOs at Cosmic Noon. The research team will also have access to proprietary data from XRISM and explore the XRISM archive to study AGN UFOs in local Seyferts.
Salary and benefits:
The position is at the same entry level as a permanent INAF researcher (gross salary of 38.465 €/year) and comes with extra benefits, such as full access to the Italian public
healthcare system, pension funds, maternity/paternity leave, parental leave, etc.
Eligibility:
By Italian law, to apply for this type of position, the candidate must:
(1) be a citizen of the European Union (EU), or
(2) be a relative of citizens of the EU so that the candidate is eligible for a permanent residence permit, or
(3) hold a long-term residence permit in the EU by the application deadline, or
(4) have the legal status of refugee or subsidiary protection.
Additionally, by the application deadline, the candidate must hold a PhD in Astronomy or Physics, or have at least three years of documented research experience following the M.S. degree.
Requested expertise:
The following expertise will be assessed by the selection committee:
1. Physics and evolution of galaxies and AGN;
2. Observational properties of AGN winds and their role in feedback processes;
3. Models of highly ionized nuclear winds observed in X-rays and UV;
4. Characteristics and statistical methods of high-resolution X-ray spectroscopy.
How to apply:
The application must be sent by the deadline of 23:59 CET on 22 December 2025
using the PICA webportal (https://pica.cineca.it/login).

Título: Postdoc position in Low Surface Brightness science and Euclid (GEELSBE2 project)
Centro:
Tipo: Postdoctoral
descripción:
Dear colleagues,
we are offering a two-year postdoc position at the University of Valladolid (UVa, Spain) and its Laboratory of Disruptive Interdisciplinary Science (https://ladis.uva.es/) funded by the “Galactic Edges and Euclid in the Low Surface Brightness Era 2 (GEELSBE2)" project (ref. no. PID2023-150393NB-I00) by the Spanish Ministry of Science & Innovation (PI: F. Buitrago & B. Sahelices). The selected candidate's work will consist in the development of Machine Learning algorithms to detect Low Surface Brightness distant galaxy features, paying special attention to the truncations/galaxy edges in Euclid data (and its simulations) and other ultradeep data (HST, JWST). They will also have 30% of their time free to conduct any previous research projects. Due to the scientific objectives to be achieved, a strong profile on Machine Learning will be preferred --see conditions in the provided links, where also the necessary documentation is detailed: passport copy, CV, publication list, etc.-- and thus not only people with an Astrophysics background are encouraged to apply but also more technical profiles. The University of Valladolid actively seeks a diverse applicant pool and encourages candidates of all backgrounds to apply. Please mind that, according to the University regulations, if your PhD was not undertaken in Spain, you must also apply for the official recognition (https://www.uva.es/export/sites/uva/2.estudios/2.08.homologaciondetitulo/) and attached this certificate to the application.
The successful candidate will undertake their work on F. Buitrago's group and will benefit from all his national/international collaborations (Euclid's Local Universe --where the PI leads the Diffuse Light Working Package-- and Galaxy Evolution working packages, Low Surface Brightness collaborations with IFCA, ICE, etc., ARRAKIHS and others like MOONS and 4HS). A strong interaction with the UVa Computer Science department and the UVa Mathematical Physics group are also expected. Both departments have a very nice working atmosphere and conduct regular seminars, giving also the opportunity to supervise BSc and MSc students. Valladolid is a large and lively city at an hour's distance from Madrid. It is located at the center of the Castille region, and thus with plenty of monumental places and astounding nature nearby.
The salary will be 42.100€ euros/year before taxes (12 pays per year) and the contract duration is expected to be approximately 23 months (February 1st 2026 to --at least-- 31st August 2027, although we will push ask for an extension until the end of 2027 and the exact dates are negotiable). In addition to the salary, the successful person appointed as postdoctoral research associate will also receive full Spanish Healthcare social benefits (e.g. medical insurance and parental leave) and an end-of-contract payment of approximately 2.300€. They will make use of the UVa machine-learning computer facilities (and several dedicated server with powerful graphic cards). Do not hesitate to put in contact (fbui...@uva.es) in case you have any questions (or problems with the documentation in Spanish). Please also provide two reference letters --sent directly by the reference researchers-- to the aforementioned email address. The deadline for sending the documentation via the UVa system is December 31st 2025, after which a selection of applicants will be made followed by interviews to those in the short list.
Thank you very much for your attention,
Fernando Buitrago
