University of Oslo: Two postdoctoral positions

Post by Per B. Lilje » September 19 2007

TWO POSTDOCTORAL RESEARCH FELLOW POSITIONS IN ASTROPHYSICS (COSMOLOGY) are available at the Institute of Theoretical Astrophysics of the University of Oslo.

The applicants should hold a Ph.D. degree in physics, astrophysics or a closely related subject.

The positions are connected to the project ”Studying the early Universe with non-Gaussianities”, funded by the Research Council of Norway. The successful applicant is expected to carry out observational and/or theoretical research on problems related to the cosmic microwave background.

The main topic of the project is research related to sources of non-gaussianity in the cosmic microwave background: early universe physics, cosmic defects, early reionization, point sources, SZ effect, systematic effects and all other sources of non-gaussianity, as well as statistical methods for the detection of these. The Institute of Theoretical Astrophysics is strongly involved in ESA’s Planck project. The fellowships may include work on data from it.

The applications must include a CV, list of publications, exam marks, and a short description of research interests. The applicant should also arrange for two letters of reference to be sent to the address above.

The University of Oslo wishes to recruit more women in research positions. Women are encouraged to apply. Further guidelines are given by the following web page: http://www.uio.no/admhb/reglhb/personal ... doctor.xml

UiO has a contract for all employees regarding acquisition of intellectual property rights.
