Research fellows in computational galaxy formation & dynamics

The Institute of Cosmos Sciences of the University of Barcelona (ICCUB) invites applications for 2 postdoctoral positions in the new research group of Dr. Chervin Laporte. Currently we are offering a position in computational galaxy formation and another in computational galaxy dynamics. Candidates with strong expertise/interests modelling small scale gas physics on galactic scales, the formation of dwarfs and MW-like systems OR non-equilibrium dynamics in the Galaxy (and its satellites) are encouraged to apply. The fellows will be expected to lead an independent research line and participate within the group's larger projects. 

They will also have the opportunity to be involved in the scientific exploitation of the Gaia mission, WEAVE as well as participating in international collaborative networks and supervising students (if they wish). The ICCUB offers a stimulating environment with scientific staff working on a variety of topics from cosmology, extragalactic and Galactic astronomy to star formation and gravitational wave detection. The term of employment is for 3 years (subject to performance). The positions are funded by an ERC starting grant and come with access to supercomputing and travel support. Candidates should have completed their PhD within last six years.
