Position Description
Applications are invited for a three-year postdoctoral position with Ema Dimastrogiovanni and Daan Meerburg, starting in Fall 2026. The position is part of the NWO-XL funded "Magnetic Universe" Consortium (https://www.nwo.nl/en/news/64-million-euros-for-groundbreaking-fundamental-research-projects) and is based at the Van Swinderen Institute for Particle Physics and Gravity at the University of Groningen (https://www.rug.nl/research/vsi/). Candidates with an interest in theoretical cosmology and possible applications to cosmological data are encouraged to apply. The successful candidate will also have the opportunity to collaborate with consortium members, including Matthieu Schaller at Leiden University, Elisa Chisari and Tomislav Prokopec at Utrecht University, as well as other partners within the consortium, on related projects. Both Ema and Daan are members of the Cosmic Frontier within the VSI. Research in their groups focuses on early universe physics, gravitational waves, primordial non-Gaussianities, Cosmic Microwave Background, 21cm cosmology and AI enhanced data inference. They currently supervise a total of seven PhD students (including two joint appointments) and one postdoctoral researcher. The newly recruited postdoctoral researcher will be encouraged to take a leading role across both groups, fostering and spearheading collaborative research projects.
