The Department of Astronomy and Astrophysics at University of Chicago is home to a wide array of fundamental research projects and is involved in many cutting-edge facilities. Postdoctoral scholars play a vital role in advancing departmental research that investigates the biggest questions in astronomy and astrophysics. In addition, the participation of postdocs in the life of the department enriches both the scientific and social fabric of our community and often leads to enduring connections. We offer numerous prize fellowship opportunities for individuals to join our stimulating intellectual community to pursue independent research projects.

The “Astrophysical and Cosmological Relativity” (ACR) department at the Max Planck Institute for Gravitational Physics (Albert Einstein Institute, AEI) in Potsdam announces the opening of several postdoctoral appointments, which will be available at different levels, depending on experience and seniority, and can last from 2 to 5 years. We also have openings as part of the ERC-Synergy Grant “Making Sense of the Unexpected in the Gravitational-Wave Sky”, one opening as part of the Simons Collaboration on Black Holes and Strong Gravity, and one opening for a postdoctoral position as part of the Center of Gravity. For the latter, the successful candidate will spend the first two years at the AEI and the subsequent two years at the Niels Bohr Institute in Copenhagen. The ACR department also offers Max Planck Fellowships to non-German scientists. Information on those fellowships and explanations on how to apply are summarized here. We are particularly interested in hiring creative and highly motivated candidates who are at ease working both collaboratively and independently in a vibrant, interdisciplinary, and synergistic group.
