Postdoctoral Positions:
Applications are invited for postdoctoral positions with a focus on galactic dynamics as a probe for dark matter with Dr. Francesca Fragkoudi at the Institute for Computational Cosmology at Durham University. Applicants with a strong background in galactic dynamics, chemo-dynamical modelling of Milky Way-like galaxies, running and analysing simulations in CDM and alternative dark matter contexts, and producing mock observations from cosmological simulations, are especially encouraged to apply.
The positions are for 3 years subject to funding, with a preferred start date in September 2024 or earlier. Applications should include a CV and publication list, cover letter (\~1 page), statement on your experience with, or commitment towards, mentoring, equality and inclusivity (\~0.5 pages), a research statement (no more than 3 pages), and the details of three academic referees.
