Description

Expressions of interest are invited for PhD 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 a fixed period of three years with a starting date in fall 2026.

We seek highly motivated, outstanding individuals eager to join an ambitious research program at the intersection of particle astrophysics, nuclear astrophysics, transient astrophysics, and multi-messenger astrophysics. Preliminary expertise in neutrino transport, (magneto)hydrodynamic simulations of astrophysical sources, 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 astronomy, high-redshift galaxies, dark matter and dark energy, black holes, and cosmic dust.

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 track record and future promise.
