Postdoctoral Position in Disk and Planet Formation Theory

We invite applications for a postdoctoral fellow to work on theoretical and computational studies of giant planet formation and protoplanetary disks at the University of Arizona. The successful candidate will have substantial experience in numerical studies of disks, planetary atmospheres, or a closely related area. Code development experience is a plus. The postdoctoral fellow will be a part of the Theoretical and Computational Astrophysics Network (TCAN) with PI Dr. Phil Armitage at Stony Brook University / Flatiron CCA, New York, Co-I’s Dr. Kaitlin Kratter & Dr. Andrew Youdin at the University of Arizona, and Dr. Rebecca Martin & Dr. Zhaohuan Zhu at the University of Nevada Las Vegas. We encourage candidates to submit applications to both UofA and UNLV. The fellow will be encouraged to visit all three hubs in order to collaborate with all members of the project. Review of applications will begin on 2/15/19 and continue until the position is filled.

Duties and Responsibilites: Carry out theoretical and computational studies of planet formation in collaboration with Dr. Andrew Youdin and Dr. Kaitlin Kratter.
