Experience with HPC frameworks used in astrophysics, such as AMReX, Kokkos, or similar, is welcome. Experience with astrophysical hydrodynamics - especially stellar convection, turbulence, and magnetohydrodynamics - is advantageous but not required. Applicants must hold a PhD in astronomy, computational physics, or a related field by the start date of the appointment. The research group has access to a dedicated computer cluster, which is being expanded with new nodes. The group has been successful in applying for time on national supercomputing infrastructure with postdocs and students leading the proposals. The group is connected to observational efforts in time-domain astronomy. Group website is at https://utf.mff.cuni.cz/~pejcha/ Full employee benefits provided by the Czech state and Charles University: health insurance (no or very small co-pays), 25 vacation days, 5 personal development days, contributions to state pension fund, subsidized meals, parental leave, discounts for sports & wellness, Czech language classes, etc. Compensation Notes The position is financed from ERC Consolidator grant "ROGALLO". The position will be initially awarded for one year, but extensions up until the end of the project are possible given mutual interest and satisfactory performance. Funds for travel and invitation of guests are available. Depending on mutual interest and satisfaction, the position might translate to a more permanent contract within the emerging Research Software Engineering team at Charles University (https://rse.cuni.cz/RSEEN-1.html).
