James Arthur Postdoctoral Fellowship in Astrophysics, Cosmology and Particle Theory

The Center for Cosmology and Particle Physics (CCPP) at NYU anticipates awarding two or more James Arthur Postdoctoral Fellowships to start in September 2010. Areas of specialization may include theoretical particle physics, and theoretical or observational astrophysics, cosmology, and astroparticle physics. In addition, there are openings for research scientists supported by individual faculty, including research on particle astrophysics with the Pierre Auger Observatory.

The CCPP presently consists of Professors M. Blanton (observational astrophysics), G. Dvali (particle theory, extra dimensions, cosmology), G. Farrar (particle astrophysics, cosmology, ultrahigh energy cosmic rays), G. Gabadadze (particle theory, gravity and cosmology), A. Gruzinov (theoretical astrophysics and cosmology), D.Hogg (galaxy astrophysics and observational cosmology), M. Kleban (string theory and cosmology), A. MacFadyen (high energy astrophysics, numerical simulations), M. Porrati (string theory), R. Scoccimarro (theoretical cosmology), and N. Weiner (particle and astroparticle theory, cosmology).

The Center also benefits from close ties with Professors K. Cranmer (experimental particle physics), P. Huggins (planetary nebulae), A. Sirlin (electroweak theory), and D. Zwanziger (field theory, lattice gauge theory).

James Arthur Fellows pursue independent research projects, or work with others in the group, as their interests dictate. Postdocs benefit from the lively atmosphere of the Center and a vigorous visitors program. Astrophysics postdocs benefit from data access to Sloan Digital Sky Survey III and the opportunity to participate in the Pierre Auger collaboration.

Appointments are usually for three years. Exceptional candidates will be considered for longer term appointments. Those proposing to come with funding from outside fellowships will be eligible for continuation of their appointment.

Applications must be submitted via the CCPP Online Application System. Your complete application must include a CV, publication list, statement of research interests, and a list of three people who will be submitting letters of recommendation. Complete applications received by December 1, 2009 will receive top priority.

Faculty Position, Department of Physics

The Physics Department of New York University anticipates filling a tenure-track faculty position in cosmology and/or astrophysics, as part of an ongoing program to develop this area. All appointments are subject to final budgetary and administrative approval. Exceptional candidates at higher levels will also be considered.

Applications must be submitted via the CCPP Online Application System. Your complete application must include a CV, publication list, statement of research interests, and a list of at least three people who will be submitting letters of recommendation. All application materials and supporting documents should be received by December 1, 2009 if possible.
