PhD position in theoretical cosmology

Project Overview

The Cosmology and Astroparticle Physics group at Bielefeld University investigates the formation and evolution of large-scale structures in the Universe, the nature of dark matter, dark energy and the physics of the early universe. We are part of the Collaborative Research Center CRC-TRR 211 "Strong-Interaction Matter under Extreme Conditions" and use theoretical, statistical and numerical tools in combination with observational data.

Project Scope

• Work on theoretical developments to determine the QCD imprint on the primordial black hole production.
• Develop new techniques to enable calculations beyond a constant collapse threshold, accounting for the cosmic trajectory in the early universe and making predictions for merger rates that can be confronted with astrophysical observations.

Requirements

• Completed scientific university degree in physics, astronomy or equivalent by the start of the position.
• Good command of written and spoken English.
• High self‑motivation and ability to work in a team.
• Documented knowledge of cosmology and experience in programming (Python, C++, etc.) required.
• Additional experience with data analysis and knowledge of particle physics and astrophysics desirable.
