| Auxiliary position at Center for Theoretical Physics PAS | Closing date: 2024-05-31
Contact: Agnieszka Janiuk |
The Director of the Center for Theoretical Physics PAS invites applications for
auxiliary technical position at the CTP PAS, financed from the project MAESTRO 15
"Dynamics of processes around compact stars" funded by National Science Center. PI of the project is Prof. dr hab. Agnieszka Janiuk | | ▸ more | The aim of the project is to study accretion flows around compact stars, such as black
holes and neutron stars. Using numerical computer simulations, a model of the accretion
disk instability, driven by a dominant radiation pressure (RPI), is studied. We also study
the black hole accretion and ejection of plasma in a form of jets and winds, related to
gamma ray bursts (GRBs) and kilonovae. For this research, we use computer codes
based on Relativistic Magneto-hydrodynamics, developed by project PI and her group.
The scope of work of the successful Candidate within the project will be on software
development to support the HARM and GLADIS codes. Additional tasks are related
with: code installation and testing on different HPC platforms, libraries and compil-
ers, code debugging and backward compatibility checks. Maintaining the version
control repository. Development of scientific visualisation scripts. Help in develop-
ment and maintaining the project website and social media services.
We expect the candidates to have:
- At least MSc degree in physics or astronomy,
- Proficiency in C/C++ and python.
- Minimum 2 years of experience with tasks similar to the scope of work.
- Ability to quickly learn new technologies and evolving requirements such as compiler
updates, library evolutions, Operating Systems progressions, and hardware advances.
- Independence and creativity in solving problems.
- PhD degree in astrophysics will be a plus.
The application must include:
1. The Candidate?s CV, including the complete history of past employment.
2. Cover letter.
3. A copy of the MSc or PhD degree diploma.
4. Personal Questionnaire.
5. RODO clause.
6. One letter of recommendation from previous employer.
The application should be submitted electronically to rekrutacja @ cft.edu.pl between
2024.04.09 and 2024.05.31. In the e-mail?s title please add the reference number:
AJ/05/2024 Selected Candidates will be invited to an interview, to be held in the 1stnd

month.
The competition will be settled by 2024-06-15. Candidates will be informed
electronically on the results of the competition. Starting of employment is scheduled for
2024.07.01.
