Open positions for Postdoc and PhD candidate in Warsaw, Poland

Open post-doctoral position in astrophysics

Center for Theoretical Physics, PAS, invites appplications for a post-doctoral position, founded from the research grant "Astrophysics of the processes around compact objects" under the supervision of prof. Agnieszka Janiuk.

We invite researchers with a PhD degree in astronomy, physics or related discipline. The candidates must have a degree or provide evidence in the form of a letter from their supervisor thar will obtain their PhD degree before the satrting date.

The applications should contain cover letter, curriculum vitae, description of past research activities and present interests (3 pages maximum), as well as photocopies of passport/ID and PhD diploma. Also, two letters of reference, should be arranged and sent directly to agnes@cft.edu.pl.
