Description:
The Department of Physics and Astronomy at Dartmouth College invites applications for a postdoctoral position under the NSF-funded research project ORMAS (The Origin of Massive Stars), led by Profs. Brian Chaboyer and Paolo Padoan. The appointment is for two years, starting at any time between March 1 and September 1, 2025. The ORMAS project investigates the origin of massive stars with supercomputing simulations of supernova-driven MHD turbulence adopting the new task-based, asynchronous code DISPATCH. The successful candidate is expected to contribute both to code development and numerical data analysis, hence strong programming skills are required. Previous experience with adaptive-mesh-refinement codes and familiarity with astrophysical gas dynamics is preferred. The researcher will interact with the astrophysics group at Dartmouth, as well as international collaborators at the Universities of Copenhagen and Helsinki. There will also be opportunities to collaborate with Dartmouth students on an outreach project. This position is full-time, non-remote, in-residence at Dartmouth in Hanover, NH. The postdoctoral researcher will be primarily advised and hosted in the Department of Physics and Astronomy—a highly interactive and vibrant community of over 70 faculty, graduate students, and postdocs. Postdoctoral scholars are also supported by the Guarini School for Graduate and Advanced Studies, including their diversity and inclusion initiatives. Dartmouth is committed to academic excellence and encourages the open exchange of ideas within a culture of mutual respect. People with different backgrounds, life experiences, and perspectives make the Dartmouth community diverse, which enhances academic excellence. In addition, we value applicants who have a demonstrated ability to contribute to Dartmouth’s diversity initiatives in STEM research, such as the Women in Science Project, the EE Just STEM Scholars Program, and the Academic Summer Undergraduate Research Experience. Applicants should address in their cover letter how their research, teaching, service, and/or life experiences prepare them to advance Dartmouth's commitment to diversity in service of academic excellence.
