Expressions of interest are invited for postdoctoral positions in Particle 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 the fall 2023 and it can be extended by one year subject to performance.

We seek highly motivated, outstanding individuals who will develop research programs in particle astrophysics, nuclear astrophysics, and/or multi-messenger astrophysics. Expertise in neutrino transport, particle acceleration in astrophysical sources, multi-messenger astrophysics, 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, cosmology, high energy particle physics, particle astrophysics, condensed matter physics, quantum optics, and biophysics. Areas of research of the DARK Center at the Niels Bohr Institute include, but are not limited to: observations, theory of astrophysical transients and cosmic explosions, particle 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 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.
