The project

The research project is centred at the interplay of theoretical gravitation, cosmology and black hole physics, with particular attention to the so-called cosmological coupling of compact object masses and the corresponding phenomenological signatures. The detailed project can be tuned upon the specific skills of the selected candidate. The ideal candidate has a strong background in theoretical physics, especially in general relativity. A good knowledge of topics such as black hole physics, dark matter, dark energy, and cosmology is a plus. Also, skills in numerical computation might be important, although not essential.
