Description: |
The Niels Bohr International Academy (NBIA) invites
applications for one postdoctoral fellowship in astroparticle physics. The
appointment is for a period of two years, starting in Fall 2018, and can be
extended by one year subject to performance. The NBIA is an independent centre
of excellence hosted by the Niels Bohr Institute (NBI) and functions as the
primary centre of fundamental research in the physical sciences and
mathematics. The astroparticle physics group at NBI (http://nbia.nbi.ku.dk/astropart/)
has a broad interest, studying the interfaces between astrophysics, cosmology,
and fundamental physics. The successful applicant is expected to conduct
research in multi-messenger astrophysics. We are particularly interested in
scientists working on the high-energy emission of non-thermal sources and the
propagation of cosmic messengers. A close collaboration with the NBI IceCube
group (http://icecube.nbi.ku.dk) is also expected. Postdoctoral Fellows receive a competitive salary (including pension) and funds for travel and computing. Generous parental leave, state-subsidised childcare, vacation, and full medical care are provided to employees in Denmark. A favourable tax scheme is generally granted to international researchers. The University of Copenhagen wishes to reflect the diversity of society and welcomes applications from all qualified candidates regardless of personal background. The primary criterion for the evaluation of candidates is the excellence of their research. To guarantee full consideration applications should be received before December 22, 2017. Later applications will be considered until the position is filled. For further information please contact Markus Ahlers (markus.ahlers@nbi.ku.dk). |
