About this position

This postdoctoral fellowship is hosted by the Niels Bohr International Academy at the Niels Bohr Institute, University of Copenhagen. The project sits in a vibrant theoretical-physics environment that brings together astrophysics, gravitational physics, particle physics, quantum sciences, and soft matter physics, with active interaction across Copenhagen’s wider astrophysics community.

The fellow will work in Prof. Andrew Chael’s interdisciplinary group on near-horizon black hole astrophysics. The research aims to improve theoretical models and simulations of black holes, their environments, and their relativistic jets, and to connect those models to horizon-scale observations.

Research directions highlighted in the advert include general relativistic magnetohydrodynamic simulations of black hole accretion flows, as well as the analysis and imaging of Event Horizon Telescope data. The project also connects to data and science goals from the forthcoming Black Hole Explorer space VLBI mission and other multiwavelength observatories.

The position offers room for an independent postdoctoral researcher to pursue original ideas and collaborations while contributing to the broader scientific program of Prof. Chael’s group. Group members will have access to NBIA computational resources, including an in-house CPU/GPU cluster.

The scientific setting is international and collaborative, with NBIA hosting seminars, visitors, workshops, and PhD schools, and with connections to major research communities in Copenhagen such as the Center of Gravity, DAWN, DARK, and StarPlan.

Funding details

Competitive salary including pension; initial appointment for two years with a possible extension to a third year.

What's required

Applicants should be outstanding independent researchers with a strong record of research in astrophysics or closely related areas. Experience with general relativistic magnetohydrodynamic simulations of black hole accretion flows or analysis and imaging of Event Horizon Telescope data is particularly desired. A cover letter, CV including a publication list, and a research statement are required.

How to apply

Submit a cover letter, CV including a publication list, and a research statement through Academic Jobs Online. The application should describe previous achievements, future directions, and connections to Prof. Chael’s research program. Expressions of interest received after the deadline may also be considered.
