København Ø

We are seeking outstanding candidates to fill the postdoctoral positions described below. Candidates are requested to indicate in their cover letter whether they are applying for Postdoctoral Position 1, 2, or 3.

Postdoctoral Position 1 - We are seeking candidates within the field of Theoretical and Computational Astrophysics with emphasis on astrophysical fluid dynamics and magnetohydrodynamics to study how black hole binaries form, evolve, and merge. The successful candidate will seek to address this important problem relying on sophisticated computer simulations, complemented with analytical and semi-analytical approaches. It is highly desirable for the candidate to possess expertise in astrophysical fluid dynamics and programming skills in Python, Fortran, C, and/or C++. For this position, experience with the numerical codes PHANTOM and/or Athena++ will be considered valuable assets.

Postdoctoral Position 2 - We are seeking candidates within the field of Theoretical Astrophysics and Gravitational Wave Astrophysics with emphasis on modeling neutron stars and black hole collisions. With new observations suggesting that very light or very massive neutron stars exist, a key question is how to probe the nature of these "lower mass-gap" objects using gravitational waves. For this position, experience in modeling how the unique properties of neutron stars will manifest in both current and future gravitational-wave data will be considered valuable assets.

Postdoctoral Position 3 - We are seeking candidates within the field of Theoretical Astrophysics and Gravitational Wave Data Analysis with emphasis on constraining new effects and models in existing and future gravitational-wave data. Black hole masses, spins, and eccentricity are generic measures that broadly can be linked to black hole formation channels, but other subtle effects could also be present with a direct link to the underlying formation mechanisms. For this position, experience incorporating such new models and effects in current and future gravitational-wave searches will be considered highly valuable assets.

The postdoc’s duties will include research within their field of expertise as well as teaching. The post may also include performance of other duties.
