| Post-doctorate in pulsar physics (M/F) | Closing date: 2019-07-31
Contact: Jérôme Pétri |
| The Strasbourg Observatory, France, is seeking a post-doctoral fellow to work on theoretical and observational aspects of pulsar emission mechanism. The position is funded by the CEFIPRA Indo-French Center for the Promotion of Advanced Research (IFCPAR) project ?Modelling and observing pulsars: from high energy to radio emission?. | | ▸ more | The successful candidate will work in collaboration with Jérôme Petri, Université de Strasbourg (Project Principal Investigator, France) and Dipanjan Mitra of NCRA (Project Principal Investigator, India) either on interpreting radio single-pulse dynamics and polarization observations in conjunction with X-ray and Gamma-ray observations or on performing numerical simulations of pulsar magnetosphere and studying plasma instabilities and wave propagation in the magnetospheric plasma.
The candidate has to have a PhD degree in astronomy, astrophysics, or a related discipline, or must be awaiting the award of the Ph.D. degree after submitting the doctoral thesis to a university. A strong background in expertise in numerical and computational aspects of relativistic plasma astrophysics and/or analyzing and interpreting X-ray/gamma-ray observations of pulsars (e.g from instruments like XMM-Newton, Chandra, NuSTAR, Astrosat, Fermi) will be given preference.
Research activities at Strasbourg Observatory are centred on high energy astrophysics, stellar physics, galactic dynamics and cosmolgy, with faculty members pursuing research in diverse areas of astrophysics (visit http://astro.unistra.fr).
The successful candidate will have the opportunity to make two visits for a period of one month each to NCRA-TIFR, India, for the purpose of project collaboration. Some amount of funding for local travel within France is also available.
Applications containing a curriculum vitae, summary of research experience and the names and e-mail addresses of three or more referees should be sent to the addresses jerome.petri @ astro.unistra.fr and dmitra @ ncra.tifr.res.in, by July 31st, 2019. Applicants should also request their referees to send in recommendation letters by the same deadline. All enquiries should also be made to these e-mail addresses.
