[Users] Postdoctoral Fellow in Numerical Relativity at WVU

[Zach Etienne]

Dear friends,

The Department of Physics & Astronomy at West Virginia University is
seeking applications for a Postdoctoral Fellow in the field of
Computational Relativistic Astrophysics/Numerical Relativity. The
successful candidate will:

* Develop next-generation numerical relativity software.
* Perform state-of-the-art simulations; analyze and visualize simulation
data; and write scientific papers summarizing work.
* Work with a multi-institution network of collaborators on a variety of
numerical relativity projects such as:
   - Supercomputer simulations of magnetized binary neutron star mergers
with IllinoisGRMHD (https://illinoisgrmhd.net) and realistic equations of
state.
   - A volunteer-computing 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.

The preferred start date is August 15, 2020, though earlier start dates are
acceptable. This position may be renewed in annualized increments for up to
three years, contingent upon performance, need, and funding. The screening
process will begin on December 15, 2019 and will continue until the
position is filled.
