Two Postdoctoral Positions in Theoretical Astrophysics

The Theoretical Astrophysics Group (TAG) at Korea Astronomy and Space Science Institute (KASI) invites applications for two postdoctoral fellow positions in Theoretical or Computational Astrophysics.

The appointment date is July 1st, 2021, but the exact date is negotiable. The initial appointment is for 2 years, with possible extension to the third year, depending on research performance.

We are looking for excellent candidates with a Ph.D. in Astronomy or Physics and strong background in theoretical astrophysics or computational astrophysics. However, priority will be given to candidates with demonstrated experience in one of the following topics: dust astrophysics, CMB foregrounds, interstellar magnetic fields, star and planet formation, MHD simulations, radiative transfer, and astrochemistry. The successful candidate will work with Dr. Thiem Hoang on the topics of mutual interests in the aforementioned areas.

We offer an internationally competitive package of salary and benefits, and an additional research fund of ~7,000 USD per year will be provided. Postdoctoral fellows are also eligible to apply for their own grants from the National Research Foundation.

Required documents: CV & Research achievement and plan, 5-year publication and project list, and more than two letters of recommendation.
