Questionnaire for research institutions in Poland interested to host Marie Curie-Sk�odowska postdoctoral fellowships
to be sent to ph3@npk.gov.pl
Institution: Uniwersytet Mikolaja Kopernika Institute: Toru� Centre for Astronomy Address: ul. Gagarina, 11, PL-87-100, Toru� Homepage: http://www.astro.uni.torun.pl/sympa/ Contact person: Dr Boud Roukema Phone/fax: +48 56 611 3039/+48 56 611 3009 Email: boud@astro.uni.torun.pl Research field: observational cosmology Working languages: English, French, Polish
Description of research topic/subject:
The postdoctoral fellow would be expected to carry out original, independent research in any field of observational cosmology, and to stimulate discussion of observational cosmology among faculty and students. Fields presently being developed or likely to be developed at the Toru� Centre for Astronomy include constraints on local cosmological parameters such as the matter density parameter, the cosmological constant and the effective quintessence parameter, using public archival data; attempts to measure global parameters via topological lensing, using radio-loud AGNs, clusters and the cosmic microwave background; and galaxy formation and evolution. Candidates in other fields of observational cosmology are welcome to apply: excellence and originality of research will be the primary criteria for making a selection.

[Comment to cosmo-torun group: This is an administrative request to see if we can get some money for a European postdoc. Andrzej M, Andrzej K and I thought it best to keep the subject open to any theme in observational cosmology. I think we have till Monday before Wydzia� Fizyka meets to discuss the proposals, so please make any comments, criticisms, complaints, suggestions quickly!]
