| Postdoctoral position in gamma ray burst astrophysics | Closing date: 2020-07-31
Contact: Agnieszka Janiuk |
Applications are invited for one postdoctoral position at the Center for Theoretical Physics (CTP PAS), in Warsaw, Poland, to work on a study of gamma ray bursts and their multimessenger appearance, employing computational astrophysics methods. Supervisor of the project is prof. Agnieszka Janiuk.
The position will be for 3 years. The starting date is negotiable but could be as early as October 2020. | | ▸ more | Applications are invited for one postdoctoral position at the Center for Theoretical Physics (CTP PAS), in Warsaw, Poland, to work on a study of gamma ray bursts and their multimessenger appearance, employing computational astrophysics methods.
We seek an ambitious and creative researcher who can explore and propose new ideas for investigating signatures of gamma ray bursts central engines, and their outflows, including chemical enrichment of the interstellar plasma by these explosions and heavy element radioactivities. The post-doc will also collaborate with other team members on the development of the GR MHD numerical tools and large scale jet modeling.
Applications are welcome from candidates with strong background in any aspect of theoretical and computational astrophysics. The ideal candidate has solid programming skills, previous experience on the application of ideal MHD methods and massive hydrodynamical simulations, good communication skills, and the ability to carry out projects independently, while working constructively within a group. Previous research experience on one or more of the following topics would be an asset: neutrino physics, dense matter equation of state, r-process nucleosynthesis. Pedagogical skills and experience in co-supervising students is also a plus.
The position will be for 3 years. The starting date is negotiable but could be as early as October 2020.
Application Deadline is Friday, July 31, 2020
Selection of candidates and on-line interviews is planned around September 15, 2020.
The candidates should send their documents by email, to rekrutacja @ cft.edu.pl.
Application should include:
1. The scientific CV, including publication list, participation in research projects and
conferences (with the clause "I agree to the processing of my personal data
contained in the application documents")
2. Motivation letter, with a brief description of the Candidate's scientific interests and
future research plans.
3. A copy of the PhD diploma, or statement from the PhD Advisor on the planned date
of defense (the PhD should be awarded before the post-doc contract starting date).
4. Applicants should also arrange to have two letters of reference separately sent to the
email address given here.
