PhD Project in Particle Astrophysics and Multimessenger Astrophysics

Niels Bohr Institute
Faculty of SCIENCE


University of Copenhagen

The Niels Bohr Institute invites applicants for a PhD fellowship in Particle Astrophysics and Multimessenger Astrophysics. The project is part of the ERC research project “ANET,” which is financed by the European Research Council.

Start date is (expected to be) 01 September 2024 or as soon as possible thereafter.

The project

This project aims at solving one of the most urgent riddles in multi messenger astrophysics: how neutrinos affect the physics of the death of massive stars as core-collapse supernova explosions and the merger of two neutron stars or a neutron star and a black hole. Neutrinos are feebly interacting particles copiously produced in these dense sources. Neutrinos exist in three different kinds, or flavors, and have the fascinating property of changing their flavor while propagating (flavor conversion). Because of the high density of neutrinos in the core of supernovae or compact binary mergers, flavor conversion becomes a non-linear phenomenon, whose understanding is quite preliminary. Numerical simulations buttressed by analytic diagnostic methods will be employed to radically advance our understanding within a multi-messenger framework. This project will have implications on fundamental physics, the origin of the heavy elements, as well as our comprehension of the behavior of matter at extreme densities and the physics of neutrino-dense sources.

Who are we looking for?

Highly motivated, outstanding candidates interested in research in theoretical particle astrophysics and multi-messenger astrophysics are encouraged to apply.

Our group and research- and what do we offer?

The AstroNu group is a part of the Niels Bohr Institute, Faculty of SCIENCE, University of Copenhagen. The AstroNu group is based at the Niels Bohr International Academy and DARK, Niels Bohr Institute. The Niels Bohr International Academy is committed to fostering the traditions of internationalism, interdisciplinarity and excellence in physics, which characterize the Niels Bohr Institute. It functions as a primary center for fundamental research including particle and astroparticle physics, astrophysics and gravity, condensed matter physics, quantum optics, and biophysics. Areas of research of DARK include, but are not limited to: astrophysical transients, particle astrophysics, high-redshift galaxies, dark matter and dark energy, black holes, and cosmic dust.

We offer creative and stimulating working conditions in a dynamic and international research environment. The AstroNu group is committed to excellence through diversity and strives to facilitate progress of underrepresented groups in higher education careers. Our group has exclusive access to some of the largest dedicated astrophysics computing resources in Scandinavia, including a general-purpose high-performance computing cluster.

Principal supervisor is Professor, Irene Tamborra, Niels Bohr Institute, [email protected], Direct Phone: + 4535333227.
