Postdoc in Stellar Astrophysics – DTU Space
2 months ago
Join DTU Space and the ERC-funded MAGNIFY project to explore how magnetic fields affect stellar structures and pulsations in intermediate-mass stars. Ideal candidates have stellar modeling expertise and a track record of independent research. Apply to revolutionize our understanding of stars.
Join us at DTU Space to contribute to research that could revolutionize our understanding of stellar structure and evolution. We are seeking an enthusiastic and skilled Postdoctoral Researcher to join the ERC-funded MAGNIFY project, led by Dr. Victoria Antoci. This project explores the effects of magnetic fields on stellar structure and mixing processes within stars. It focuses on magnetic field generation, the impact on pulsations, and broader implications for stellar evolution. MAGNIFY investigates the variability induced by stellar spots and examines the origin of magnetic fields causing these variations in A and F stars. Using asteroseismology, we aim to detect and analyze near-core and surface magnetic fields. This involves comparing theoretical models with photometric observations from the Kepler and TESS satellites, complemented by Gaia data and ground-based spectroscopic and spectropolarimetric observations.
ResponsibilitiesAs a Postdoctoral Researcher, you will among other:
- Create and coordinate a comprehensive grid of stellar and pulsation models for A and F stars.
- Analyze how different model parameters affect pulsation characteristics.
- Use asteroseismology to study near-core and surface magnetic fields, integrating findings into a broader understanding of stellar structures.
- Analyze how magnetic fields affect pulsation frequencies.
- Publish findings in scientific journals and present at research seminars and conferences.
- Mentor and support students and PhD students engaged in related research activities.
- Promote equity and diversity within the research team, fostering an inclusive and collaborative work environment.
- Extensive experience in stellar modeling.
- Experience in magneto-asteroseismology is highly desirable.
- Strong analytical skills and a proven track record of research publications.
- Proven ability to conduct independent research.
- Effective communication and mentoring skills.
- A commitment to diversity and inclusion in the workplace.
Candidates with diverse backgrounds in stellar modeling and those who have worked on various types of stars are encouraged to apply.
As a formal qualification, you must hold a PhD degree (or equivalent).
We offerYou will join a newly forming team led by Dr. Victoria Antoci, where your ideas and scientific background are highly valued. We foster an open culture of scientific discourse and encourage you to actively contribute to our collaborative environment. Your input will be essential in advancing the MAGNIFY project. We also offer mentoring and support for your career development to help you grow professionally and achieve your academic goals. We encourage you to pursue and develop your own research ideas.
DTU is a leading technical university globally recognized for the excellence of its research, education, innovation and scientific advice. We offer a rewarding and challenging job in an international environment. We strive for academic excellence in an environment characterized by collegial respect and academic freedom tempered by responsibility.
Salary and terms of employmentThe appointment will be based on the collective agreement with the Danish Confederation of Professional Associations. The allowance will be agreed upon with the relevant union.
This is a full-time position offered for an initial period of 2 years. Expected start is early 2025, however the exact date is negotiable.
Further informationFurther information may be obtained from Victoria Antoci ( ).
