The successful applicant will work on observational studies of Active Galactic Nuclei in the group led by Prof. Claudio Ricci. The team is currently composed of three postdoctoral researchers and two PhD students, and studies nearby AGN from radio to X-rays. The postdoctoral position will focus on the study of AGN transients, super Eddington accretion, and changing-state AGN, using LSST transient discoveries and follow-up observations with 4MOST. The position is for two years, with the possibility of extension depending on the availability of funding. Applicants are expected to have experience in AGN research; familiarity with X-ray data reduction and analysis will be considered an asset. A portion of the time will be allocated to independent research. Applications should be submitted by e-mail in PDF format to claudio.ricci @ unige.ch by January 25, 2026, to ensure full consideration. Later applications will be accepted until the position is filled. The applications should include a cover letter, a CV with a publication list, and a brief research statement. In addition, applicants should provide the names and contact information of two referees willing to provide letters of recommendation upon request. Informal enquiries are welcome.
