Postdoctoral Research Position in Theoretical Astrophysics at Cornell University
The Cornell Center for Astrophysics and Planetary Science at Cornell University invites applications for a postdoctoral research position to work primarily with Prof. Drummond Fielding on theoretical studies of galaxy formation, specifically focusing on the topics of galactic winds, the circumgalactic medium, cosmic ray transport, and multiphase turbulence.The successful applicant will have the opportunity to shape the direction of their research within these broad themes, engaging in collaborative efforts both within Cornell and with international collaborations. They will contribute to and benefit from a range of major numerical simulation efforts, with the flexibility to develop independent projects that align with their interests. This position offers a valuable opportunity to engage in cutting-edge research on galaxy formation and to participate in dynamic, interdisciplinary collaborations that span multiple institutions.Applicants with prior experience in designing and executing controlled numerical experiments with grid-based codes (particularly Athena++ and/or AthenaK) and/or running cosmological simulations (particularly with Arepo and/or Gizmo) are especially encouraged to apply.The position requires a PhD in astronomy, physics, or a closely related field. The initial appointment is for two years from the date of hire, with the possibility of renewal for further years contingent on funding and performance. The nominal start date will be August 1, 2025, but this is negotiable.Applicants should submit a cover letter, a CV (including a list of publications), and a brief (2-3 page) statement of previous work and proposed research.
