The University of Wisconsin–Madison invites applications for a postdoc position in observational cosmology using early data from the Vera C. Rubin Observatory. The successful candidate will collaborate with members of the Legacy Survey of Space and Time Dark Energy Science Collaboration (LSST DESC) on studies of dark energy, dark matter, neutrino properties, and/or physics of the early Universe. Investigations that combine Rubin Observatory data w/ other datasets, e.g., CMB, spectroscopic surveys, and space-based imaging surveys, are welcome.
The initial postdoctoral appointment is for one year, renewable up to three years. Applicants should have completed a PhD before the start date. The position nominally begins in August-September 2025; earlier start dates are possible.
To apply, please use the the application form to upload a cover letter, curriculum vitae, and brief statement of research interests. You will be asked to provide the contact information for three individuals who can separately send letters of recommendation. The position will remain open until filled; however applicants are strongly encouraged to submit all materials (and to ensure that the three letters of recommendation are received) by 13 December 2024. Inquiries regarding the position should be directed to Keith Bechtol (kbechtol@wisc.edu).
UW–Madison is an equal opportunity/affirmative action employer. We promote excellence through diversity and encourage all qualified individuals to apply.
