Postdoctoral Research Positions in Extragalactic Stellar Streams

The Niels Bohr Institute at the University of Copenhagen invites applications for 1-2 postdoctoral research positions in extragalactic stellar streams. The positions are part of the project "Decoding Dark Matter with Stellar Streams from Beyond the Milky Way."

We seek candidates with a strong background in computational astrophysics, galactic dynamics, and/or dark matter physics. Experience with N-body codes, analyzing large-scale or zoom-in cosmological simulations, stellar streams (detection, characterization and/or modeling), and alternative dark matter models is highly valued.

As a postdoctoral researcher, you will have the opportunity to develop your own projects related to extragalactic streams and receive support to travel to international conferences and visit collaborators. Co-mentoring of students and teaching opportunities are also available.

The Pearson's Extragalactic Streams group works on various topics, including globular cluster streams in dwarf galaxies, developing stream-finding algorithms, and predicting the behavior of stellar streams within different dark matter frameworks. We analyze large-scale cosmological simulations, run stream simulations, and compare our models to data.

The position offers an estimated salary of approximately **DKK 54,000** per month, based on qualifications and experience. The employment start date is 01 September 2025, or as soon as possible thereafter.

The University of Copenhagen values diversity and welcomes applications from all qualified candidates regardless of personal background.
