The Theoretical Physics Group at the University of Zaragoza is seeking candidates interested in pursuing a PhD within our research areas:
- Axion Theory and Phenomenology (Cosmology, dark matter, astrophysics, experimental detection, HPC simulations)
- Particle Phenomenology Beyond the Standard Model (Flavour and Higgs physics, axion-like particles, machine learning)
- Lattice QCD (CKM and flavour universality anomalies, θ-vacuum, muon g–2)
- Beyond Special Relativity (Lorentz invariance violation, doubly special relativity, high-energy astroparticle physics)
- Beyond General Relativity and QFT (Quantum gravity, Casimir effects and θ-vacuum, quantum information, topological materials and axions, dark energy)
- Cosmology (Dark energy, extragalactic surveys (Euclid, SKAO), active galactic nuclei)
