Description

Expressions of interest are invited for Postdoctoral Fellowships in Particle Astrophysics and Multi-Messenger Astrophysics to be held within the AstroNu Group led by Prof. Tamborra at the Niels Bohr International Academy and DARK. The foreseen appointment is for two years with a starting date in 2026 and it can be extended by one year subject to performance and funding availability.

We seek highly motivated, outstanding individuals who will develop research programs in particle astrophysics, nuclear astrophysics, transient astrophysics, and/or multi-messenger astrophysics. Expertise in neutrino transport, nucleosynthesis, particle acceleration in astrophysical sources, modeling of multi-messenger emission from cosmic sources, and/or high-performance computing will be considered valuable assets.

The Niels Bohr International Academy is a young initiative committed to fostering the traditions of internationalism, interdisciplinarity and excellence in physics, which characterize the Niels Bohr Institute. It functions as a primary center for fundamental research including theoretical and computational astrophysics, particle astrophysics, gravitational physics, high energy particle physics, quantum physics, and biophysics. Areas of research of the DARK Center at the Niels Bohr Institute include, but are not limited to: observations, multi-messenger transient astrophysics, high-redshift galaxies, dark matter and dark energy, black holes, and cosmic dust. The AstroNu group has exclusive access to some of the largest dedicated astrophysics computing resources in Scandinavia, including a general-purpose high-performance computing cluster.

Postdoctoral Fellows at the Niels Bohr Institute 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 favorable 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.
