Postdoctoral Positions in Astrophysics, Cosmology and Particle Theory
The Center for Cosmology and Particle Physics (CCPP) at NYU anticipates awarding one James Arthur Postdoctoral Fellowship to start in September 2012, most probably in observational astrophysics (e.g., transient phenomena, their host environments and galaxies), theoretical astrophysics, cosmology, or 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), K. Cranmer (experimental particle physics), S. Dubovsky (particle theory, astrophysics and cosmology), G. Dvali (particle theory, extra dimensions, cosmology), G. Farrar (astrophysics, particle physics and cosmology, UHECRs), 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. Modjaz (observational astrophysics), 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 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 as well as in the Palomar Transient Factory 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, 2011 will receive top priority.
