Post-doc opportunities in cosmology at CP3-Origins and the D

Post by Martin S. Sloth » November 12 2011

In addition to the general post-doc search at our institute, one to two post-doc opportunities in cosmology will this year be available in the new cosmology group at CP3-Origins and the Danish Institute for Advanced Study, University of Southern Denmark.

The new group is established in connection with the project "Universe-Origins: Probing Fundamental Physics with Planck", and we particularly encourage candidates interested in theoretical cosmology and early universe models (primordial inflation, CMB physics, string cosmology, etc.) to apply. The project will begin January 2012 when Martin S. Sloth is becoming a part of the CP3-Origins and the Danish Institute for Advanced Study, and is funded with a "Jr. group leader fellowship" of 10 mill. DKK (1.3 mill. Eur) from the Lundbeck foundation over 5 years. In this period funding for additional post-docs and PhD students are already secured as a part of the project through the generous support from the Lundbeck foundation.

The Centre for Particle Physics Phenomenology (CP3-Origins) contains at the moment 13 faculty members and several post-docs and PhD students in the areas of particle physics phenomenology, beyond standard model physics, astroparticle physics, collider phenomenology (both SM and BSM), lattice field theory, and cosmology. For further informations, see the web-page: http://cp3-origins.dk/

The post-doc opportunities will come with plenty of support for travel and computer equipment. In addition we have funding for arranging several workshops/conferences as a part of the project.

Danish post-doc salaries are competitive and the Odense area is a very nice and affordable area to live in.

Priority will be given to applications received within the deadline Dec. 1. 2011, but late applications may be considered until the posts have been filled. Expected starting date: Sept. 2012.

Application procedure:

Follow the online application procedure for the general post-doc search at CP3-Origins and mark it "Universe-Origins":
