A friend at the institute in Sweden where I used to work asked me to post this astrophysics postdoctoral job notice: KTH | Postdoctoral scholarship in experimental high-energy astrophysics/astroparticle physics
A postdoctoral scholarship is available in the Particle and Astroparticle Physics research group ( www.particle.kth.se) at the Department of Physics, KTH Royal Institute of Technology, Stockholm, Sweden.
The position primarily concerns the development of space missions with a focus on X-ray polarimetry. The research group has conducted ballooning campaigns for hard X-ray polarimetry (PoGOLite, PoGO+), participates in the X-ray Imaging Polarimetry Explorer (XIPE) mission proposal for ESA M4, and is developing a national small satellite concept for gamma-ray burst polarimetry. The successful candidate will participate in the further development of X-ray polarisation missons within the group (instrument development and analysis of data from on-going missions).
