The NSF Physics Frontier Center Network for Neutrinos, Nuclear Astrophysics, and Symmetries (N3AS) intends to make three postdoctoral Fellow appointments for positions starting in fall 2025.
N3AS is a multi-institutional collaboration linking thirteen partners: UC Berkeley, UC San Diego, U. Kentucky, Los Alamos National Laboratory, U. Minnesota, U. of New Hampshire, North Carolina State U., Northwestern U., Notre Dame U., Ohio U., Pennsylvania State U., U. Washington, and U. Wisconsin. N3AS research focuses on theoretical issues in multi-messenger astrophysics. Topics include dark matter, dense matter, neutrino physics, nucleosynthesis, neutron stars and their mergers, supernovae, and associated gravitational wave physics. N3AS interests also include fundamental symmetries and weak interactions.
N3AS provides a unique multi-disciplinary environment for postdoctoral Fellows to address fundamental questions in astrophysics, cosmology, nuclear physics, and particle physics. All N3AS appointments are made through UC Berkeley. N3AS postdocs spend their first two years at one of the N3AS institutions.
This year the available host institutions are U. Kentucky, Los Alamos National Laboratory, U. Minnesota, North Carolina State U., Northwestern U., Ohio U., and U. Wisconsin. At the start of year three, contingent on satisfactory progress and continued funding of N3AS, N3AS Fellows can continue their appointments at a second Network institution of their choice. Fellow salaries depend on experience, but begin at $76K for new PhDs. N3AS provides a generous allowance to enable travel to other N3AS institutions and to support collaborative research, as well as a relocation allowance.
