Job Description

Applications are invited for a postdoctoral fellowship in Particle Astrophysics to be held at the Niels Bohr International Academy and DARK. Highly motivated, outstanding candidates with expertise in numerical and analytical aspects of neutrino astrophysics, astrophysics, and nuclear astrophysics are encouraged to apply. The successful applicant will join the AstroNu Group. The appointment is for two years with a starting date in the fall 2019 and it can be extended by one year subject to performance. 

The Niels Bohr International Academy is committed to foster 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, cosmology, high energy particle physics, condensed matter physics, quantum optics and biophysics. Areas of research of the DARK Center at the Niels Bohr Institute include: observations, simulations and theory of astrophysical transients and cosmic explosions, neutrino astrophysics, high-redshift galaxies, dark matter and dark energy, 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 research.

To guarantee full consideration applications should be received before December 15, 2018. Applicants are requested to express their interest by submitting their applications via this website.
