The Niels Bohr International Academy at the Niels Bohr Institute invites expressions of interest for Postdoctoral Fellowships in multiple fields related to Gravitational Physics and Gravitational Wave Astrophysics for a fixed period of 2 years. The preferred starting date is Fall 2025.
The successful candidate will have the opportunity to guide more junior fellows, teach courses at various levels, participate in outreach activities, and organize international meetings. To receive full consideration, interested candidates should upload the material requested below before November 15th, 2024. The search will remain open until the optimal candidates are found.
In the field of strong gravity, the positions is available through the Villum Investigator
Grant “Illuminating the Dark Universe with Gravitational Waves” (IluGra) led by Vitor Cardoso. The successful candidate will join the Strong Group, and an ambitious research program addressing the physics of black holes, including black hole spectroscopy and that of possible exotic compact objects. It further includes the exploration of black holes as engines of discovery, including implications for dark matter physics and connections to particle physics.
The hire is part of a vigorous expansion at the Niels Bohr International Academy into the field of Gravitational Physics, bringing together a number of scientists from several areas of theoretical physics and astrophysics and addressing some of the most burning questions related to gravity. The Niels Bohr International Academy is hosted by the Niels Bohr Institute and functions as a primary center for fundamental research, including theoretical and computational astrophysics, cosmology, high-energy particle physics, condensed matter physics, and biophysics. The Academy hosts a large number of international programs, including visitors, workshops, and PhD schools.
The University of Copenhagen wishes to reflect the diversity of society and welcomes applications from all qualified candidates regardless of personal background. Postdoctoral Fellows at the University of Copenhagen receive a competitive salary (including pension) and funds for travel and computing. Generous parental leave, state-subsidized childcare, vacation, and full medical care are provided to employees in Denmark. A favorable tax scheme is generally granted to international researchers.
Application Materials Required: submit the following items online to complete your application:
– Cover letter
– Curriculum Vitae (max 4 pages)
– Research statement (max 4 pages)
– Publication list
– Three reference letters (to be submitted online by the reference writers at this site)
