Postdoctoral Research Position in Dynamical Astrophysics

Applications are invited for a postdoctoral research position working with Professor Gongjie Li in the School of Physics at Georgia Institute of Technology. The research topics are broadly related to dynamical interactions covering a wide range of scales which include (but are not limited to):
Planetary system formation and evolution
Stellar/black hole interactions in galactic nuclei/clusters

Candidates with interest in these topics are particularly encouraged to apply. Previous experience with perturbative analysis, N-body and/or hydrosimulations is desirable but not mandatory. The position is for two years, renewable for a third year upon mutual agreement. The nominal starting date will be September 1, 2018, but an earlier or later start is negotiable depending on the applicant's availability. Candidates must have a Ph.D. in astronomy, physics, or equivalent, by the date of appointment.

Applicants should submit a CV, a publication list, a brief statement of research interests (2-3 pages), and arrange for three letters of recommendation to be sent directly. All materials and inquiries should be sent by email to [email protected]

Review of applications will begin on December 15th, 2017 and continue until the position is filled.
