The Director of the Center for Theoretical Physics PAS (CTP PAS) invites applications for one postdoctoral fellowship at the CTP PAS, financed from the project MAESTRO 15 "Dynamics of processes around compact stars", financed by the National Science Center (NCN), registration No. 2023/50/A/ST9/00527. PI of the project is Prof. dr hab. Agnieszka Janiuk.

The project aims to advance the theoretical understanding of accretion flows around compact stars, such as black holes and neutron stars. These objects form after the collapse of a massive star core, and are powering the central engine, in which a BH or NS accrets material from the rotating collapsar(MacFadyen & Woosley 1999). The properties of the electromagnetic emission and ejecta depend on the stellar structure. GR MHD simulations are used as a major tool for the study of many aspects of GRB phenomenology (Lazzati et al. 2015; Gottlieb et al. 2022). This project will focus on the innovative research that includes numerical modeling of the properties of the progenitor, the jet launching process, and the dynamics of jet propagation. From the computational point of view, the problem is very challenging, while it will provide a deeper theoretical foundation for assessing the capabilities of supercomputer simulations, using the most modern HPC systems in Poland and abroad.

Terms of employment: The position offered is for a period of one year with the possibility of extension, contingent upon excellence of research results and availability of funding. The competition will be concluded by the end of January 2025.The earliest date of starting work is beginning of February 2025. 

Salary: PLN 9,772.10 gross per month (approx. PLN 7,550 net per month).
