Advertised Job Summary:

Under general supervision of the Principal Investigator (PI), Dr. Enrique Lopez-Rodriguez, the primary work will involve analyzing and developing high-resolution cosmological magnetohydrodynamic simulations, including, but not limited to, dust properties, cosmic rays, and mock infrared and radio observations (i.e., ALMA, JWST,SOFIA, VLA, SKA). The ultimate goal is to characterize the evolution and role of magnetic fields and dust in galaxies and the circumgalactic medium over cosmic time. The successful candidate will be required to maintain accurate and detailed data records, prepare research progress reports, and share findings; develop research projects on extragalactic magnetism, galaxy formation, and evolution using magnetohydrodynamical simulations in combination with observations to support future application; support the development of grant proposals by providing material and/or research narratives to develop new projects; and contribute to the preparation and submission of research grant and observing proposals. The postdoctoral fellow will also assist in supervising graduate and undergraduate students and coordinating efforts with other researchers in the group.

Job Related Minimum Required Education and Experience:

Requires a Doctoral (Ph.D.) degree in area of specialty by the start date of employment.

Preferred Qualifications:

PhD in astronomy or a closely related field by the start date of employment.

Knowledge/Skills/Abilities:

Expertise in numerical magnetohydrodynamical simulations, cosmology, and extragalactic astrophysics, which could have been gained during the normal course of a doctoral degree program.

Required to conduct business lawfully and ethically by consistently adhering to compliance policies, procedures, and regulations.

Job Duty:

Contribute to the Extragalactic Magnetism Group led by Prof. Enrique Lopez Rodriguez.
