Postdoctoral Researcher

Applications are invited for post-doctoral positions in the Cosmological Physics and Advanced Computing Group (CPAC) Group in Argonne National Lab. Research at CPAC covers theory, modeling, observations, and experiments targeted at dark energy, dark matter, inflation, and neutrinos. Theory and modeling activities emphasize multi-wavelength survey science, the galaxy-halo connection, cluster cosmology, and simulations. Analysis efforts cover topics such as CMB power spectra, CMB lensing, galaxy clustering, redshift-space distortions, and weak and strong gravitational lensing. The observational focus is on optical sky surveys (DES, DESI, Roman, Rubin Obs/LSST, DESC, SPHEREx), CMB instrumentation and observations (CMB-S4, SPT), and cross-correlations.

Applicants with research experience in any of the above areas will be considered. One of our open positions is to work with Andrew Hearin on forward modeling galaxy SEDs and the galaxy--halo connection with applications to DESI, LSST, and CMB cross-correlations. Another open position is to work with Matthew Becker on weak lensing analyses with Rubin LSST data. 

Position Requirements

• A Ph.D. in physics, astronomy, or a related area completed within 5 years of experience or equivalent at the starting date is required

• Ability to model Argonne’s Core Values: Impact, Safety, Respect, Integrity, and Teamwork

Applicants should send:

1) CV

2) Brief statement of research interests

3) Arrange for three letters of recommendation to be sent to [email protected] by December 15, 2024
