Job Description
We invite motivated candidates to apply for postdoctoral positions as part of the 6-year Synergy Grant 4D-STAR (09/2023 - 08/2029, www.4d-star.org/), an international project funded by the European Research Council. To reach the 4D-STAR goals, we will integrate four teams led by asteroseismologist Conny Aerts at KU Leuven (Belgium), theoretical astrophysicst Stéphane Mathis at CEA-Saclay (France), astrophysical fluid dynamicist Michel Rieutord at Toulouse (France), and stellar evolution software developer Aaron Dotter at Dartmouth College (USA).
The following 4D-STAR positions are offered:
(1) a software-oriented postdoctoral position, maximally 5 years, at Dartmouth College (USA) to work on the development of an open-source, multidimensional stellar evolution software instrument. Past experience in stellar evolution and astrophysical software development is considered advantageous for this position. Inquiries: [email protected]
(2) a 4-year science-oriented postdoctoral position at CEA-Saclay (France) to work on the theory and numerical simulations of stellar oscillations in single and binary stars including rotation and magnetism in a non perturbative way to interpret seismic data. The candidate will work in close collaboration with Toulouse and Leuven nodes of the project. Past experience in astrophysical/geophysical fluid dynamics or theoretical asteroseismology is an asset for this position. Inquiries: [email protected]

Compensation and Benefits
Salaries include social and medical/dental insurance, opportunities for parental leave, and retirement contributions.
Salaries will be commensurate with the standard scales at the host institutes and will depend on the number of years of relevant work experience after PhD or equivalent diploma.
