Applications are invited for a postdoctoral position in observational extragalactic astrophysics at the STAR institute of the University of Liège (Belgium), to work in collaboration with Drs. D. Hutsemékers and D. Sluse. The research activities encompass AGN physics, in particular polarization, galaxy-scale strong / milli / micro-lensing of quasars, distribution of dark matter in galaxies, and cosmic large-scale groups hosting quasars. The candidate is expected to contribute to one (or several) of those research fields.
The STAR institute (https://www.star.uliege.be/ ) gathers more than 100 researchers carrying out cutting-edge research in extragalactic astrophysics, gravitational waves, astro-particles, planetology, stellar physics and instrumentation. It has direct access to the full suite of ESO observing facilities, and excellent computing facilities.
Applicants should have a doctorate in astrophysics or a related discipline. They should submit a CV, publication list, and a research statement (i.e. report on previous and current research activities and expertise, a research project, within three pages max), via email to [email protected] before April 1st. Two letters of recommendation should be independently sent to the above e-mail address. Late applications will be considered until the position is filled. The position is initially for two years. It comes with competitive salary, benefits and generous travel funding. The successful candidate is expected to start on Sept. 1st, 2024, with some flexibility, but no later than Dec. 1st.
The selection procedure will be in accordance with the regulations of the University of Liège. Our institutional policy is based on diversity and equal opportunities. We select candidates on the basis of their qualities, regardless of age, sexual orientation, origin, beliefs, disability or nationality.
