Department Statement

Employing multiple global and cultural perspectives, the Colgate University Department of Theater inspires and transforms students through immersion in the challenging and exhilarating reversals of the creative process. Our curriculum prepares students to thrive in a wide range of future endeavors. As a close-knit group of artists and scholars, we ignite collaborative engagement and experimentation in the classroom through a far-reaching sense of wonder, curiosity, and play. The department serves Colgate and the surrounding communities by creating theater and dance performances that awaken feeling, interrogate assumptions, and sharpen perceptions of an ever-changing world.

Students in the Department of Theater learn by doing in the intellectually and physically rigorous environment of studio courses, rehearsals, and public performances. Majoring or minoring in theater fosters students’ ability to read closely, think critically, and communicate clearly. Students of theater are trained to integrate analytical, physical, emotional, and interpersonal intelligence in a way that few other courses of study demand. By making and studying theater at a liberal arts university, Colgate students act out a variety of perspectives on the world, learning to problem solve and self-start through immersion in the challenges of the creative process. Graduates regularly pursue successful careers not only in theater but also in communications, media, business, law, and technology.

The Department of Theater produces up to four theater and dance main stage productions each year. All students are welcomed to audition, regardless of concentration or experience. Auditions are held at the beginning of each semester and participation in a department main stage production carries a full course credit.

Description

The Department of Physics and Astronomy at Colgate University invites applications for a postdoctoral research fellowship in Computational Astrophysics. The anticipated start is September 2024, although other start dates are possible. The fellowship is initially for one year, with the possibility of annual renewals for up to a total of three years, contingent on performance and availability of funds. The initial funding for this position comes from a major grant awarded by the Picker Interdisciplinary Institute to a collaboration between Cosmin Ilie (Assistant Professor, Colgate University), Katherine Freese (Jeff and Gail Kodosky Endowed Chair in Physics, UT Austin) and Andreea Petric (Associate Research Scientist, Space Telescope Science Institute).

What You Will Do as a Postdoctoral Research Fellow:

The main goal of our group is to use the fist stars and galaxies in the Universe as probes of Dark Matter. The postdoctoral researcher’s primary role will be the inclusion of heating from Dark Matter annihilations into the widely used Module for Experiments in Stellar Astrophysics (MESA) code. For those interested, the option exists to supervise undergraduate students in research and to gain valuable teaching experience by occasionally guest lecturing at Colgate, an elite liberal arts college.

Where You Will Work:

Colgate is a vibrant liberal arts university of 3,200 students situated in central New York state. Colgate faculty are committed to excellence in both teaching and scholarship. The Department of Physics and Astronomy has 11 faculty members with active research agendas in quantum and optical physics, green electronics, condensed matter physics, superconducting low-temperature physics, biophysics, planetary science, observational astronomy, astrophysics, cosmology, particle physics, computational neuroscience, and engineered environmental processes. The department is housed in the Ho Science Center, which is configured to facilitate interdisciplinary teaching and research. Please visit our website for information regarding our facilities, programs and faculty expertise. Applicants with dual-career considerations can find postings of other employment opportunities at Colgate and at other institutions of higher education in upstate New York at this website. 

Why you should apply:

Your work will help usher a new era in astronomy: the observational study of Dark Matter powered stars. Those objects could be natural solutions to two of the most pressing puzzles in Astronomy today: i. the seeds of the Supermassive Black Holes powering the most distant quasars ever observed, and ii. the unexpectedly bright compact galaxies observed at high redshifts with JWST.

The position comes with dedicated funds for travel to collaboration meetings and other related workshops and conferences.

As a postdoctoral scholar at Colgate University, you will be eligible to apply for discretionary and publication grants from Colgate’s Research Council, both of which can be used to develop or further refine your independent research agenda.

The opportunity to gain teaching experience and be mentored in teaching excellence at a top liberal arts college.
