| Full-contract position in the field of stellar physics | Closing date: 2023-04-10
Contact: Michal Bursa |
| The Astronomical Institute of the Czech Academy of Sciences (ASU) invites applications for a scientist's full-contract position in the field of stellar physics doing research on hot stars. | | ▸ more | ASU is a public research institution and the largest professional astronomical organization in the Czech Republic, located at Ondrejov observatory and in Prague.
The successful applicant will collaborate with researchers in the working group of hot stars. The research of this group is focused on studies of massive hot stars at their different evolutionary stages. The studied objects can be either single or binary or multiple systems. Furthermore, the group is involved in observational and theoretical investigations of the chemistry and dynamics of the circumstellar material of evolved massive stars. The research of massive stars is complemented by studies of low-mass stars in late evolutionary stages. Theoretical studies in modelling stellar atmospheres with a natural focus on hot massive stars are also a part of the group's research. The group is also involved in astroinformatics research in order to develop new methods and tools to deal with the exponentially increasing amount of data in astronomy.
Further requirements:
- PhD degree in astronomy and astrophysics obtained before 2020
- Demonstrated research activity in stellar physics
Preferential qualifications:
- Physics of hot and outbursting stars
- A record of ESO observation proposals
- Experience in university teaching
A necessary condition is to satisfy legal requirements for employment in the Czech Republic (EU member state). Salary will be based on the domestic level (cca 1700 EUR/month before taxes) and it includes health insurance. There is a possibility of institute accommodation in Ondrejov.
