DATE: Tue, 1 Dec 2009 23:14:39 +1100 SUBJECT: RSAA Postdoc in Computational Astrophysics Applications are invited for an exciting post-doctoral research position exploiting the power of modern supercomputers to understand the different modes of energy production by black holes. This is a 3 year fixed-term Level A, research intensive position in the Research School of Astronomy and Astrophysics at The Australian National University. The successful appointee will work with Prof Geoffrey Bicknell (The Australian National University) and Assoc Prof Zdenka Kuncic (University of Sydney) on computational and analytical work relating to the physics of accretion disks surrounding black holes in Active Galactic Nuclei. The successful candidate will have demonstrated clear research achievement in Theoretical and Computational Astrophysics. The ability to successfully undertake advanced scientific computation and related analysis is an essential requirement. The appointee will have access to the computational environment of the National Computational Infrastructure Peak Facility subject to successful time application proposals. Applicant enquiries can be make to Prof Geoffrey Bicknell, by phone +61 (0)2 6125 9088 or email at geoff@mso.anu.edu.au Full details and application process can be found at http://info.anu.edu.au/hr/Jobs/Current_Vacancies ============================================== 2009 - The International Year of Astronomy http://www.physics.usyd.edu.au/iya ============================================== Dr John O'Byrne Senior Lecturer Chair, Academic Programs Committee Secretary, Astronomical Society of Australia Inc.
