Job Announcement Text: 

Applications are invited for a postdoctoral position at the Observatoire de la Côte d'Azur (Nice, France) to work in the framework of the funded ANR project PEPPER (https://lagrange.oca.eu/fr/welcome-to-anr-pepper).

The post-doctoral researcher will work at the Observatory of Côte d’azur (OCA, Nice) together with Dr. Andrea Chiavassa (Lagrange laboratory, OCA, Nice) and Dr. Bernd Freytag (Uppsala University, Sweden) on the computation/analysis of a new grid of evolved stars simulations including the magnetic field. These simulations (of paramount importance for the project) will provide knowledge basis on mechanisms launching evolved stars winds, thanks to the magneto-convection processes.

Position is for two years. Net annual salary is set by national guidelines starting at 27600 euros and it is commensurate with the level of experience. 

The successful candidate should have a PhD degree or a foreign degree equivalent to a PhD degree in Astronomy or Physics. Candidates with practical experience with relevant numerical simulations (gas dynamics, radiative transfer), will be considered a merit and are strongly encouraged to apply.

By June, 30, enthusiastic candidates should send:

i) a CV including a publication list (4 pages max),

ii) a statement of research interests (2 pages max),

iii) arrange for three letters of reference to be provided separately to [email protected] using “PEPPER postdoc” in the email header.
