Inhomogeneous Cosmologies IV, Torun, 14-19 July 2019

Inhomogeneous Cosmologies IV, Torun, 14-19 July 2019 During 14-19 July 2019 we are gathering experts in inhomogeneous cosmology for a small workshop of about 30 participants at Nicolaus Copernicus University in Torun, the town where Copernicus was born. We wish to map out the most promising directions for analytical, numerical and observational investigations aimed to take into account both structure formation and cosmological expansion within the constraints of general relativity. Can we clarify the physics present in the relativistic cosmology software now being developed? Are the calculations artificially constrained or are they fully relativistic? Can we achieve accurate postdiction of cosmological observations and follow up by making predictions for the upcoming decade of new major survey projects? We expect vigorous, constructive debate between "one-percenters" and "order-unity" proponents, and practical hands-on sessions of free-licensed inhomogeneous cosmology software packages.

Postdoctoral positions in cosmology at Nicolaus Copernicus University
by Boud Roukema 23 Jan '19

23 Jan '19

Contact: castle fizyka.umk.pl Deadline: 2019-02-22 Location: Torun, Poland The Faculty of Physics, Astronomy and Informatics of the Nicolaus Copernicus University invites applications for 12- to 24-month postdoctoral positions (adiunkt naukowy) in theoretical/observational inhomogeneous cosmology. A substantial fraction of the successful candidates' research work will be expected to focus on the possible links between inhomogeneous cosmology and dark matter, but they will also be expected to develop their own original cosmology research programs. Candidates with solid experience in LCDM N-body cosmology simulations and willing to work on numerical relativistic (standard general relativity) cosmology simulations will be strongly considered.
