Samuel P. Langley Postdoctoral Fellow at the University of Pittsburgh

The Pittsburgh Particle physics, Astrophysics and Cosmology Center (PITT PACC, www.physicsandastronomy.pitt.edu/pittpacc), within the Department of Physics and Astronomy at the University of Pittsburgh invites applications for a postdoctoral research fellow position in astrophysics, cosmology, or the interface between particle physics and astrophysics. Up to two fellowships will be awarded. Special consideration will be given to candidates with interest and expertise in cosmology theory, the physics of dark matter, and/or astrophysical survey data analysis and interpretation OR computational astrophysics with a focus on galaxy evolution, the ISM, CGM, or outflows. The fellowship will begin in the fall of 2023. The appointment will initially be for two years with the expectation of extension to a third year, and possibly beyond, contingent upon performance. Generous salary and research funds will be provided to all Langley Fellows.

PITT PACC is a vibrant community of faculty, postdocs, and students that conduct theoretical, experimental, and observational research in particle physics, astrophysics, and cosmology. In addition to performing independent scholarly research, Langley Fellows have the opportunity to organize PITT PACC academic activities. These include hosting short- and long-term visitors and holding PITT PACC workshops and/or conferences of their own design. Successful candidates must have a Ph.D. degree in Physics, Astronomy, or a closely allied field as well as exceptional research credentials. Interested candidates should submit a cover letter, CV, and research statement through Academic Jobs Online (https://academicjobsonline.org/ajo/jobs/23008) and arrange to have three letters of recommendation submitted through Academic Jobs Online. Please indicate general area of interest in the cover letter. Review of applications will begin on 7 January 2023, though we may continue to consider applications received after this date. Inquiries should be directed to Professor Andrew Zentner (zentner@pitt.edu), Professor Evan Schneider (eschneider@pitt.edu), or PITT PACC Administrator Joni George (jog126@pitt.edu).

The University of Pittsburgh and the Department of Physics and Astronomy are strongly committed to fostering equity, inclusion, and diversity at all levels. The University of Pittsburgh is an Affirmative Action/Equal Opportunity Employer.
