Two postdoctoral positions in astrophysics (NCBJ, Poland)

The Astrophysics Division at the National Centre for Nuclear Research, Warsaw, invites applications for two postdoctoral research positions for 2 years + a possible extension. The successful candidates will be hired under a full-time employment contract with a competitive salary of about 120 000 PLN/year (gross), plus the travel budget.

The successful candidates will work with:

1.  dr. hab. Katarzyna Małek under the project „ASTROdust: a complete census of dust attenuation in galaxies based on the analysis of millions of galaxies observed by Herschel”, starting as soon as possible. The candidate is expected to work on statistical studies of the attenuation of dust in galaxies and its dependence on the types of galaxies in different space ages.
2. dr. Ambra Nanni under the project „DINGLE: Dust IN Galaxies: Looking through its Emission”, starting from October 2021. The candidate is expected to model the evolution of dust in galaxies and its infrared emission to be compared with multi-wavelength observations.

We offer an environment of a young and active team, with a broad spectrum of expertise and interests in the area of extragalactic astrophysics and observational cosmology. There is a possibility to join projects in which our team and the Division are currently participating (i.e. HELP, LOFAR, LSST, VIPERS, NEP, CTA).

The successful candidates can also co-supervise PhD students.
