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.
