Job Description:

The requirements to apply for the Postdoctoral positions are:

Position A, based at the University of Szczecin:

1. Ph.D. in Physics with specialization in Cosmology and/or Astrophysics, obtained not earlier than 7 years before commencing employment;
2. A first postdoctoral experience (about 2-3 years) would be an asset, but is not required;
3. Demonstrated experience to modify, handle and run any of the many numerical codes currently used for cosmological simulations in General Relativity (and/or in Extended Theories of gravity). The candidate is expected to interpret and compare results from different gravitational scenarios with those obtained from slime models and with observational data. Any suitable programming language or framework can be used for this task;
4. The ability to perform the described tasks should be backed by a relevant publication record by the candidate.

Position B, based at IPPT-PAN:

1. Ph.D. in Computational Sciences or Physics (specialization in Cosmology, Astrophysics, Complex Systems, Multi-agent Systems, or a related field would be an asset but not mandatory), obtained not earlier than 7 years before commencing employment;
2. A first postdoctoral experience (about 2-3 years) would be an asset, but is not required;
3. Demonstrated professional expertise in parallel programming, including GPGPU units, is necessary. The candidate is expected to efficiently implement slime models, run various parameter studies, and interpret and compare results with existing models. Any suitable programming language or framework can be used for this task. Additionally, the candidate is expected to explore applications of the slime model beyond cosmology, such as transport networks;
4. The ability to perform the described tasks should be backed by a relevant publication record and software coded by the candidate (preferably in the form of open-source repositories).

The deadline for application is 31st October 2024. Shortlisted candidates will be invited for interviews on 11th – 15th November 2024.

The research activities will begin on 1st January 2025 and last for 2 years (24 months). The gross yearly salary will amount to 140,000 PLN (corresponding to a monthly net salary of ~6900 PLN). In addition, the grant provides funding for hardware and travels both for visits at the two nodes of the project and to attend conferences.
