The ERC-CoG BlackHoleWeather is a cutting-edge initiative aimed at understanding how the feeding and feedback of supermassive black holes shape the evolution of galaxies, groups, and clusters, self-consistently linking macro- and micro-scales (Gaspari et al. 2020, Nat. Astron.). The successful candidate may contribute on the numerical side (by developing and exploring multiscale MHD simulations) or on the observational side, through the analysis of multi-wavelength data. Applications are equally welcome from both observational and numerical backgrounds, with the possibility to integrate both approaches.

Numerical track: running and analyzing high-resolution 3D multiscale MHD simulations on GPUs (e.g., AMR codes such as AthenaPK and GAMER); implementing advanced microphysics (e.g., anisotropic conduction/viscosity, chemical networks, star formation, plasma physics); producing synthetic observables (X-ray, optical/IR, radio) and comparing them with observations.

Observational track: reducing and analyzing multi-wavelength datasets (e.g., JWST/HST, Chandra/XMM, ALMA/MeerKAT/LOFAR, MUSE); extracting physical and kinematic properties; performing quantitative comparisons with the MHD simulations.

Cross-cutting activities: publishing first-author scientific papers, presenting results at international conferences, collaborating with global partners (Princeton, MIT, NTU), playing a leading role within the BlackHoleWeather excellence team, mentoring students, engaging in problem-solving, and contributing to ERC deliverables (datasets and codes).

The position is for 2+2 years, with renewal based on performance. The position may be later upgraded to tenure-track Assistant Professor. The starting date is preferred to be as soon as possible (negotiable).
