SISSA offers excellent working conditions, including a start-up grant and reduced teaching load in the first year.

Expressions of interest should be sent in English and via Math Jobs Online only.
They should include: 

1. At least three reference letters.

SISSA is a leading research and training institution located in Trieste, Italy. Teaching is in English and only at master and graduate level. The campus is in a green area on the hills close to Trieste and is efficiently connected to the city by public transport. SISSA offers to its community first-rate research facilities (e.g. High Performance Computing facilities) and services, including an on-site kindergarten for children from 13 months up to 3 years of age. (For older children, public schooling in Italy starts from age 3 and is essentially free.)

SISSA also has strong connections with the International Centre for Theoretical Physics (ICTP), the National Institute for Nuclear Physics (INFN), and the University of Trieste (UNITS), and is a founding member of the Institute of Geometry and Physics (IGAP).

Substantial tax reduction on the salary may apply for six or more years, according to the Italian rules for appointments from abroad, if in possession of specific requirements.
