Job Advertisement: Closing Date 4th August 2016
Research Associate in Theoretical Stellar Astrophysics
Fixed Term until October 2017
Starting salary: Grade 7 £31,656
Keele University wishes to appoint a Research Associate starting in
October 2016, in order to conduct research on theoretical stellar
astrophysics.
The appointed Research Associate will work in the group of Dr Raphael
Hirschi within the Astrophysics Group at Keele University as part of an
ERC-funded project entitled "Stellar HYdrodynamics, Nucleosynthesis and
Evolution" (SHYNE). The ERC starting grant awarded to Dr Hirschi
provides funding for a dedicated 1200+-CPU-core computer cluster,
including 288 CPU-cores sharing memory via numascale technology.
You will lead the component of this project related to 3D-1D modelling
of stellar interiors. This will include a range of computer simulations
including 1D stellar evolution and 3D hydrodynamics simulations with as
main goal to improve modelling of convection and rotation in stellar
evolution. The Research Associate will also contribute to the other
components of the project. Experience in stellar evolution modelling and
3D hydrodynamic simulations is highly desirable.
For further enquiries please contact Dr Raphael Hirschi at
