英国利兹大学2024年招聘博士后职位（理论与计算天体物理学）

利兹大学（University of Leeds），是一所位于英国利兹的公立综合研究型大学，是世界百强名校、英国红砖大学。

Research Fellow in Theoretical and Computational Astrophysics

University of Leeds

Job Description

Do you hold a PhD in Astrophysics or a closely related discipline? Do you have expertise in modelling astrophysical fluid flows, magnetohydrodynamics or accretion disc physics? Do you want to further your career in one of the UKs leading research-intensive Universities?

The University of Leeds invites applications for a 3-year postdoctoral position in theoretical and computational astrophysics, funded by a Research Project Grant from the Leverhulme Trust to work with Dr Chris Nixon.

This project is a collaboration with Jim Pringle (University of Cambridge) and Tim Naylor (University of Exeter). You will conduct original research into the dynamics of accretion discs, working both independently and in collaboration with project team members. This project seeks to advance our understanding of accretion dynamics through complimentary observational and theoretical modelling of accretion discs.

Holding a PhD in Astrophysics or a closely allied discipline (or have submitted your thesis before taking up the role), you will have expertise in the modelling of astrophysical fluid flows using analytical and/or numerical methods.
