Hello everyone,

I have a couple of openings for postdocs. They will work in part with
IllinoisGRMHD (a thorn in the Toolkit) to advance binary neutron
star science:



*Postdoctoral Research Associate – Computational Relativistic Astrophysics
/ Numerical RelativityJob Number: 10075*
The Department of Mathematics at West Virginia University is seeking two
postdoctoral researchers in the field of Computational Relativistic
Astrophysics/Numerical Relativity. The positions require a Ph.D. in Physics
or a related field; strong programming skills (C and Python, or closely
related languages); experience in high-performance computing and
large-scale data analysis; and an excellent ability to communicate research
to both experts and non-experts. Successful candidates will work with a
multi-institution network of collaborators on a variety of numerical
relativity projects, including for example (1) supercomputer simulations of
magnetized binary neutron star mergers with IllinoisGRMHD (
https://illinoisgrmhd.net); and (2) a volunteer-computing / public-outreach
project called BlackHoles at Home (https://blackholesathome.net), which is
aimed at unlocking the consumer-grade desktop computer as a core tool for
numerical relativity simulations of black holes and black hole binaries.

Applications

Preferred start date is September 2019, though earlier start dates are
acceptable. These positions may be renewed in annualized increments for up
to three years, contingent upon performance, need, and funding. The
screening process will begin on November 15, 2018 and will continue until
the positions are filled. To apply, please visit https://careers.wvu.edu and
navigate to the position title listed above. Upload a letter of
application, a CV, and the names and contact information of three referees.
For additional information, contact Professor Zachariah B. Etienne at

WVU’s mission, and we welcome applications from minorities, females,
individuals with disabilities, and veterans. WVU is an EEO/Affirmative
