The competition is open to persons who meet the conditions set out in Article 113 of the Act of 20 July 2018 - Law on higher education and science (Journal of Laws of 2018, item 1668) and the following qualification criteria:

The candidates applying for the position should have a PhD in physics or astronomy, or in a related field awarded not earlier than in 2016, and good knowledge of written and spoken English.

Prior experience with submillimeter or near-infrared spectroscopy will be a strong asset.

The Faculty of Physics, Astronomy and Informatics at the Nicolaus Copernicus University in Toruń, Poland, invites applications for a post-doctoral candidate in studies of star-forming regions in the Outer Galaxy. The aim is to characterize gas and dust properties of star-forming regions in a variety of environments within our Galaxy and to create a ‘template' to interpret emission from star-forming regions in more distant, younger galaxies. The post involves working in the Molecular Astrophysics Laboratory (MA-LAB team; http://malab.fizyka.umk.pl/ ) funded by the Foundation for Polish Science within the First TEAM program led by Dr. Agata Karska. The project is supported and will be carried out in a close collaboration with researchers from University of Copenhagen, NASA Goddard Space Flight Center, and Space Telescope Science Institute.

The position is offered only for up to 6 months, because the project ends on July 31, 2022.
