Offer Description
The Director of the Center for Theoretical Physics PAS announces a competition for one post-doctoral researcher position in computational cosmology at the Center for Theoretical Physics PAS (CTP PAS) in Warsaw, Poland. The position is part of the research project SONATA 19 PAIRS: Pairwise Velocities in the Context of the Cosmic Web, funded by the National Science Center (project registration number: 2023/51/D/ST9/02919). The project is led by Dr. Mariana Jaber.
This research programme aims to extract valuable information from galaxy velocities and their spatial distribution within the cosmic web. The primary objective is to derive robust, indepenent constraints for key cosmological parameters. This involves predicting the relative infall mtions of galaxy pairs using a unique combination of analytical and numerical templates.
The salary will be higher than the usual Polish post-doc rate and will amount to 117 000PLN (~27 000 EUR) per annum (before taxes and social security contribution). There is also a dedicated travel budget of 2500 EUR per year and 2500 EUR for personal computing equipment.

Skills/Qualifications
The scope of the project puts special emphasis on the analysis of numerical simulations and avanced data analysis using computational techniques. Experience in working with cosmological simulations, Montecarlo sampling techniques, and/or practical knowledge of handling halo trees will be an added value.
The position will be available initially for one year, with a possible extension for up to 2 years, subject to satisfactory performance. The successful applicant can also benefit from the group’s close links with SDSS, LSST and 4MOST consortia.
We seek candidates with a Ph.D. degree (awarded no earlier than in 2017*) in astronomy, physics or computational sciences.
*This date may be extended by any period of official maternity or paternity leave; please contact us for further details.
