There will be a postdoctoral opening in the research group of Prof. Lars Bildsten starting
September 1, 2022. The initial appointment will be for two years, with the possibility of
renewal for a third year, contingent on continued funding and a reasonable level of
research performance. The postdoctoral researcher would carry out research in
collaboration with Bildsten's research group. The scope of theoretical work ranges from
supernova to probing stellar properties via asteroseismology. Developing and using the
computational tool, Modules for Experiments in Stellar Astrophysics (MESA) is also a
large part of the groups activities. We strongly collaborate with the Zwicky Transient
Facility (ZTF), the Las Cumbres Observatory (LCO), and an active theory network in
Time-Domain Astrophysics with Caltech, Princeton, and UC Berkeley. Theoretically
oriented observational astrophysicists are welcome to apply.
Minimum requirements: Completion of Ph.D. degree by the start date. Additional
requirements: Outstanding research in astrophysics appropriate to level of position, and
the ability to identify and pursue research problems independently while working well in
an interactive and dynamic setting.
Applications for postdoctoral positions should be made electronically via the
Academic Jobs Online website: https://academicjobsonline.org/ajo/jobs/19213
The application must consist of a curriculum vita, publication list, statement of research
interests, and three letters of reference.
Inquiries may be addressed to Professor Lars Bildsten (bildsten at kitp.ucsb.edu). Apply
by November 15, 2021 for primary consideration. Later applications will be considered
only as long as openings exist.
