| Postdoc position in numerical relativity/cosmology at Center for Theoretical Physics, Polish Academy of Science | Closing date: 2017-06-30
Contact: Mikolaj Korzynski |
| The Director of the Center for Theoretical Physics invites applications for a postdoctoral position at the CTP PAS, financed from the project ?Local relativistic perturbation theory in hydrodynamics and cosmology? No. 2016/22/E/ST9/00578 (SONATA BIS 6) supported by the National Science Center, decision No. DEC-2016/22/E/ST9/00578. The principal investigator is Prof. Mikolaj Korzynski. The position starts on September 1st, 2017. | | ▸ more | The position requires a PhD in theoretical or computational physics and experience in numerical relativity, computational hydrodynamics, MHD or compatible field. A background in astrophysics, general relativity or cosmology and experience with the EinsteinToolkit framework would be an advantage. The gross salary is 9500 PLN per month.
The group of Mikolaj Korzynski will work on the application of numerical relativity to cosmology, especially the problems of structure formation and the light propagation through spacetime, combining numerics, stochastic and perturbative methods. See the group homepage https://relativitycft.wordpress.com/ for details.
