Position description

There will be a postdoctoral opening in the research group of Prof. Lars Bildsten starting September 1, 2016. Due to UC policies, the appointment is made for one year at a time, but the applicant should consider this a two-year position with the possibility of renewal for a third year, contingent on continued funding and a reasonable level of research performance. The postdoctoral researcher would carry out research in collaboration with Bildsten's research group. The scope of theoretical work ranges from supernova to angular momentum transport within stars relevant to core collapse supernovae progenitors and asteroseismology. Developing and using the computational tool, Modules for Experiments in Stellar Astrophysics (MESA) is also a large part of the group's activities. We collaborate with the intermediate Palomar Transient Factory (iPTF), and are involved with the upcoming Zwicky Transient Facility (ZTF). Theoretically oriented observational astrophysicists are also welcome to apply.
