EAS Job Directory

Your tasks:

• Study angular momentum transport, meridional flows, and magnetic field generation (via the mean-field dynamo mechanism) in the convection zones of cool stars.


• Setup state-of-the-art direct numerical simulations of stellar convection and extract the resulting Reynolds stress and the turbulent electromotive force from the simulations.

Your profile:

• Applicants should hold a MSc degree or equivalent in astrophysics or a related discipline at the time of starting the position.
  
• Previous experience in the fields of fluid dynamics or magnetohydrodynamics, and/or a background in stellar astrophysics will be considered a strong asset.


• Ideally, you are already equipped with a skillset covering basic scientific programming, as well as running and analysing high-performance computer simulations.
