Postdoctoral Research Scholar Beus Prize Fellowship

The Beus Center for Cosmic Foundations at Arizona State University invites applications for the Postdoctoral Research Scholar position of Beus Prize Fellowship.

The Beus Center for Cosmic Foundations at Arizona State University brings together observational and theoretical astrophysicists educators instrument builders and engineers to advance our knowledge of the formation and evolution of stars and galaxies. Beginning with the first stars and galaxies the explosive deaths of successive generations of stars seeded galaxies with elements creating cosmic ecosystems of stellar birth death and gas recycling leading to a global peak and decline of star formation in the Universe. The Center aims to accelerate research into these complex processes throughout cosmic time. We seek to foster and support an inclusive community of early-career scientists who will lead the next great discoveries to better understand our place in the cosmos and enhance the societal impacts of this research.

This position is a full-time benefits-eligible position with an anticipated start date around July 2026. The initial appointment is for one year with subsequent annual renewal for up to two additional years contingent upon satisfactory performance the needs of the university and availability of resources. This position comes with a fiscal-year salary of $84500 annual discretionary research funds of $16850 and a relocation payment of $5750.
