Our group is made of six researchers and seven PhD Students. Each year, SSM opens six PhD positions for the SPACE area and three post-doc positions (for further details, please visit "POST_DOC_SSM" for post-doc positions and "PHD_SSM"for PhD positions). Research areas are mainly devoted to cosmology, space science and space technology, as suggested by the title of the PhD program. The former covers topics ranging from theoretical and observative cosmology, astrophysics, quantum field theory, basic structure and formal analysis of gravity theories, cosmography, neutrino physics, multi-messenger astronomy and several other physics braches somehow linked to cosmology. Cosmology can be understood as the link between physics and Space Technology which, in turn, comprehends aerospatial engineering, material science for extraterrestrial environments, extraterrestrial telecommunications, application of mathematic techiques to  celestial mechanics and earth monitoring. Each Thursday we organize scientific colloquia held by leading expert in the above mentioned topics, with the aim to enrich our background knowledge and keep in contact with other research groups. The colloquia webpage can be found here: COLLOQUIA
