Research Associate for the Project “Theoretical Multi-Messenger Astrophysics” § 28 Subsection 3 HmbHG in Hamburg
The postdoc position is financed as part of the ERC Advanced Grant “INSPIRATION: from Inspiral to Kilonova” which aims at the theoretical modeling of the multi-messenger signals of neutron star mergers. The particular focus will be the gravitational wave, electromagnetic and neutrino signals of the sources accessible to today’s and to future gravitational wave detectors. The successful 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 neutrino transport and/or general relativistic hydrodynamics are particularly encouraged to apply. Application Deadline: February 15th 2025.
