Research Associate - Theoretical Astrophysics
Job Summary
Job Description
In this project, the successful applicant will perform cosmological simulations of galaxy transformation in dense environments, in particular, from spirals into S0s. The simulation results will be compared with latest observational results on the physical properties of S0s in groups and clusters of galaxies so that we can understand the origin of S0s and galaxy transformation processes in general.
The candidates are required to have experiences of performing numerical simulations of galaxies.
Applications should be submitted through the University of Western Australia job site (http://external.jobs.uwa.edu.au/cw/en/listing) and must include a CV, list of publications, a brief statement of research interests and plans, and the names of three referees.
Full details of the position's responsibilities and the selection criteria are outlined in the position descriptions.
