Postdoctoral positions in Numerical Relativity at
the Rochester Institute of Technology

The Center for Computational Relativity and Gravitation (CCRG) at the
Rochester Institute of Technology (RIT) anticipates filling several
postdoctoral positions in the coming year. We are looking for
postdoctoral candidates interested in working in the areas of modeling
and simulation of gravitational waves sources and their
electromagnetic counterparts, including binary black holes and neutron
stars, and their astrophysical interpretation in the context of the
LIGO-Virgo observations.

The successful postdoctoral candidates will have the opportunity to
collaborate on a broad range of research topics in gravitational
physics. Our group is involved in several large collaborations,
including the LIGO Scientific Collaboration (LSC), The Einstein
Toolkit Consortium (http://einsteintoolkit.org), and a Petascale
computing project with NCSA.

There are many senior researchers working in a broad range of areas of
gravitational physics and astrophysics at the CCRG. This includes
Manuela Campanelli (Director), Joshua Faber, Carlos Lousto, Richard
O'Shaughnessy, Jason Nordhaus, Yosef Zlochower, John Whelan, and
Hans-Peter Bischof, several postdoctoral fellows and Ph.D. students
(see http://ccrg.rit.edu/people for an overview on who is or has been
at CCRG).  The group also collaborates with many faculty, postdocs and
graduate students in the larger astrophysics group
(http://www.rit.edu/cos/astrophysics/), the school of Mathematical
Sciences (http://www.rit.edu/cos/sms/) and the School of Physics and
Astronomy (http://www.rit.edu/cos/physics/).

The positions are for up to three years and renewable depending on
satisfactory performance and the availability of funds. CCRG
researchers have access to several computing cluster facilities at
national computing centers such as XSEDE and Frontera as well as two
dedicated 2000 and 1600-core clusters hosted at the Center.

More information about the CCRG is available at http://ccrg.rit.edu/

Applications should consist of a cover letter, a brief statement of
research interests, a curriculum vitae including publication list, and
at least three letters of recommendation. All materials should be sent
electronically as soon as possible to: ccrg-postdoc[AT]ccrgweb.rit.edu

Enquiries can be addressed to Prof. Carlos Lousto,
colsma[AT]rit[dot]edu Center for Computational Relativity and
Gravitation, School of Mathematical Sciences, and School of Physics
and Astronomy, Rochester Institute of Technology (RIT) 85 Lomb
Memorial Drive Rochester, New York 14623 USA.

Review of completed applications will begin as soon as available and
will continue until a suitable candidate is found. Deadline for
applications is January 31st, 2020. Starting date can be as early as
February and not later than September, 2022.  RIT is committed to
equal employment opportunity and affirmative action.

Thanks,
