This is a 5-year position,  generously donated to the NBIA by the Knud Højgaard Foundation. Irene  Tamborra will start her appointment on January 1st, 2016.

Irene Tamborra is a leading expert in neutrino astrophysics, an  exciting topics that brings elementary particle physics together with  astrophysics. Observations of neutrinos of astrophysical origin is a new  and promising way to learn both about neutrinos and their interactions  (including mixings), and about explosive astrophysical events such as  supernova explosions. Irene Tamborra will build up and lead a new  research group at the NBIA with focus on these subjects.
