Post-doctoral Researcher in Near-horizon Black Hole Science, Copenhagen, Denmark

The newly established group of Prof. Andrew Chael at the Niels Bohr International Academy (NBIA) in Copenhagen invites expressions of interest for a 3-year postdoctoral fellowship in near-horizon black hole science. Interested individuals are encouraged to submit all material before February 11, 2026, but the search will continue beyond this date. The position is expected to begin in the fall of 2026.

We seek highly motivated, outstanding independent researchers who will work in Prof. Chael’s interdisciplinary group to advance our understanding of black holes, their environments, and their extragalactic jets. The successful candidate will work with Prof. Chael’s group to advance theoretical models and simulations of black holes and connect them to resolved horizon-scale data from the Event Horizon Telescope, the forthcoming Black Hole Explorer space VLBI mission, and multiwavelength observatories.<...
