ERC-Funded Postdoctoral Positions: Computational Astrophysics 802 views

The Institute of Theoretical Physics at Charles University invites application for 1-2 postdoctoral positions in the area of computational astrophysics in the research group of Dr. Ondrej Pejcha. The successful candidates will lead development of new computational abilities to understand multi-dimensional evolution of catastrophic interactions of binary stars (mergers, common envelope, compact objects), and the associated radiation signatures (transients). The work will be performed within the project Cat-In-hAT funded by the ERC Starting Grant to Ondrej Pejcha.

Duration: initially for one year, renewable for up to three years, based on performance.

Requirements:

• Applicants must have a PhD in Astronomy, Computational Physics, or a related field by the start date of the appointment.
• The position includes internationally competitive salary and research budget, full medical and dental benefits, and contributions to social security.

Applications:

Application to be submitted via email to pejcha@utf.mff.cuni.cz including:

• CV
• List of publications
• Statement on past research and future interests
• Names and addresses of 3 references
