Postdoctoral Research Associate - Dr Mathieu Renzo

The University of Arizona (UA) Department of Astronomy and Steward Observatory (SO) are excited to invite applications for Postdoctoral Research Associates interested in research related to massive star evolution, binary interactions, supernova explosions, and/or gravitational-wave progenitors theory.
As a Postdoctoral Research Associate, you will have, the opportunity to work closely with a wide range of faculty spanning observational and theoretical expertise, including Mathieu Renzo, faculties from the Theoretical Astrophysics Program (https://tap.arizona.edu/), the SONATA group, and other research groups at Steward Observatory (https://astro.arizona.edu/research/research-units). You will be encouraged to integrate into and support an equitable scholarly environment in research, mentoring, and service. Your work will focus on theoretical and computational studies of the evolution, interaction, collapse, explosions and/or mergers of (massive) stellar systems, using open-source tools for stellar evolution, population, and/or hydrodynamics.
throughout your postdoctoral journey with us, you will be encouraged to conduct your own independent research, as time permits, and will be able to apply for time on any Steward facility directly as a PI.  You will be expected to lead high-profile, independent research in stellar evolution and/or populations or time-domain/high-energy astrophysics as well as collaborate with SO faculty and scholars in the Department of Astronomy.
UA/SO offers a world-class research environment in space science and astrophysics with strong interdisciplinary programs across the Departments of Astronomy, Physics, Optical Sciences, and Planetary Sciences.
Start dates range from March 1st, 2024 to January 1st, 2025.
