1 week ago


Copenhagen, Copenhagen, Denmark Københavns Universitet (KU) Full time

Københavns Universitet (KU) is seeking a talented postdoctoral researcher to join our team at the Niels Bohr Institute.

The position offers 3 years of employment, starting from September 2025. The estimated salary for this role is around 560,000 DKK per year, making it an attractive opportunity for those looking to advance their careers in astronomy.

We are looking for 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.

The successful candidate will work on extragalactic stellar streams, developing their own projects related to this field, and will receive support to travel to international conferences and visit collaborators. We encourage co-mentoring of students and offer options to teach if relevant.

Pearson's Extragalactic Streams group works at the intersection of theory and observations, analyzing large-scale cosmological simulations, running stream simulations, and comparing their models to data. This exciting project has the potential to make significant contributions to our understanding of dark matter and its effects on the universe.

If you are passionate about astronomy and have a strong academic background, we invite you to apply for this challenging and rewarding role.
