Københavns Universitet (KU)
DARK, Niels Bohr Institute is a leading institution for research in astrophysics and cosmology. We are seeking a highly qualified postdoctoral researcher to join our team in the field of extragalactic stellar streams.

**Job Description**
We are looking for a talented individual with a strong background in computational astrophysics, galactic dynamics, and/or dark matter physics. The successful candidate will be working on various projects related to extragalactic streams, including globular cluster streams in dwarf galaxies, stream-finding algorithms, and stream fitting tools. Our group works at the intersection of theory and observations, analyzing large-scale cosmological simulations, running stream simulations, and comparing models to data.

**Required Skills and Qualifications**
The ideal candidate will have a PhD degree in astrophysics or a related field, with a strong publication record in the field of stellar streams and cosmology. Excellent programming skills, particularly in languages such as Python or Fortran, are essential. Experience with N-body codes, analyzing large-scale or zoom-in cosmological simulations, and alternative dark matter models is considered a strong asset. Co-mentoring of students is encouraged, and there will be options to teach if relevant.

**Benefits**
The position offers a competitive salary, excellent working conditions, and opportunities for professional growth. As part of the DARK Fellowship program, the successful candidate will receive support to travel to international conferences, visit collaborators, and develop their own projects related to extragalactic streams.
