Institute for Computational Cosmology

ICC

The Institute for Computational Cosmology (ICC) is a leading international centre for research into the origin and evolution of the Universe at Durham University . We address some of the most fundamental questions in science: What were the first objects in the Universe? How do galaxies form? What is the nature of the dark matter and dark energy? Where does the large-scale structure of the universe come from? What is the fate of the Universe?

Career Development Fellowship
  • The Royal Society have started a fellowship to support the career development of under represented groups in STEM. In this first round they are specifically supporting researchers with Black heritage. The fellowship offers 4 years support to early career researchers who have less than 2 years postdoc experience. Applicants can be from outside the UK.
  • Career Development Fellowship website
The deadline is 24th January 2024.

The ICC is part of the Ogden Centre for Fundamental Physics and interacts closely with the Centre for Extragalactic Astronomy and the Centre for Advanced Instrumentation in the Department of Physics. We offer both PhD and Msc postgraduate studentships.

In November 2016, the ICC moved into the brand new Ogden Centre for Fundamental Physics building, designed by the world renowned Studio Daniel Libeskind. The new building now houses all three astronomy groups in the Department of Physics, including the Centre for Advanced Instrumentation and the Centre for Extragalactic Astronomy, as well as the Institute for Computational Cosmology.

Newsletter: The ICC's May 2015 newsletter is available for download.
