🚨 Some news from me! 🚨

I am ABSOLUTELY THRILLED to announce that, as of June 1, 2022, I will be joining the @Perimeter Institute for Theoretical Physics as the inaugural

Hawking Chair in Cosmology and Science Communication

(auto-CCs at YouTube link)

More about the role: I'll be working with the Cosmology group and the Centre for the Universe at @Perimeter to continue my research into dark matter and the early universe. And I'll ALSO be working with Perimeter's fantastic outreach team to bring physics to the world!

I'm super excited to start my new position at @Perimeter in the spring! I'll still be maintaining my connection with @NCState, who have been extraordinarily supportive of my research and public science work since 2018, but I'll be living in Canada full time starting in June! 🇨🇦

Here's the story on the @Perimeter website: perimeterinstitute.ca/news/katie-mac… along with some nice words from my soon-to-be boss, Perimeter Director Rob Myers

I can't wait to start working with the whole Perimeter team in Waterloo!

One consequence of this move is that the postdoc ad I put out a little while back is now a bit out of date: jobs.ncsu.edu/postings/152233 -- I'm still hiring a postdoc, but it's now a joint position, with the option to be located at @Perimeter with me (and with a later start date).
