Postdoc in Theoretical Multi-Messenger Astrophysics

The postdoc position is financed as part of the ERC Advanced Grant “INSPIRATION: from Inspiral to Kilonova” which focuses on the theoretical modeling of the multi-messenger signals of neutron star mergers. Of particular interest are the gravitational wave, electromagnetic and neutrino signals  accessible to today’s and to future detectors. The ideal candidate possesses expertise in the relevant areas of theoretical astrophysics (general relativity, hydrodynamics, nuclear equations of state, neutrino physics/transport, nuclear reactions and radiative transfer) and of computational physics/supercomputing. Candidates with demonstrated expertise in the numerical modeling of relativistic jets and/or radiative transfer are particularly encouraged to apply.

Postdoctoral research associates will have their own travel budget and access to excellent computing facilities. Moreover they will profit from the inspiring science environment of and the ample scientific expertise within the Cluster of Excellence “Quantum Universe”, https://www.qu.uni-hamburg.de.
