The Center for Theoretical Physics invites applications for a postdoctoral position at the CTP PAS, financed from the project “Local relativistic perturbation theory in hydrodynamics and cosmology” supported by the National Science Center. The principal investigator is Prof. Mikolaj Korzynski. The position starts on September 1st, 2017.
The group of Mikolaj Korzynski will work on the application of numerical relativity to cosmology, especially the problems of structure formation and the light propagation through spacetime, combining numerics, stochastic and perturbative methods. The postdoc is expected conduct research in relativistic numerical simulations. Travel and conference funds will also be available. The monthly gross salary is 9500 PLN.
The position requires a PhD in theoretical or computational physics and experience in numerical relativity, computational hydrodynamics, MHD or compatible field. A background in astrophysics, general relativity or cosmology and experience with the EinsteinToolkit framework would be an advantage.
CV, research statement, cover letter and 2 letters of recommendation should be sent directly to Prof. Korzynski. Deadline for applications is Aug 1st. Selected applicants will be invited for an interview. Successful applicant will be employed for the trial period of 12 months, with the possibility of extension for up to 3 further years.
