The Center for Astrophysics and Space Science (CASS) at NYUAD is looking to appoint new independent fellows working in one (or more) of the following research fields:

• Extrasolar Planets
• Galactic Astrophysics (including compact objects)
• Extragalactic Astrophysics and Cosmology
• Astroparticle Physics (Dark Matter searches gamma-ray spectroscopy gravitational waves)

The center currently consists of eight faculty members and more than 25 researchers and PhD students.

The Center possesses the unique possibility to investigate fundamental questions in astrophysics, astroparticle physics and planetary physics from several points of view with the expertise of its members ranging from collecting and analyzing state‑of‑the‑art data on the nature of the visible and invisible matter in the Universe to detailed theoretical and numerical studies from planets to galaxies and linking them together cohesively.
