Posted 31 January 2022
Postdoctoral position in optical astronomy, Monash UniVERSITY, Australia
Monash University, Melbourne, Australia, is seeking a Postdoctoral Researcher who will carry out research on electromagnetic observations as part of the Australian Research Council (ARC) Centre of Excellence for Gravitational-Way Discovery (OzGrav). The successful candidate will have a doctoral qualification (awarded or near completion) in Astrophysics with experience in time-domain optical astronomy (or closely allied field).
Applications due 31 Jan 2022.Details are here: https://careers.pageuppeople.com/513/cw/en/job/628239/research-fellow-optical-astronomy

Postdoc position in GW Astronomy or High Energy Astrophysics at Monash UniversityThe School of Physics and Astronomy at Monash University, as part of OzGrav, the ARC Centre of Excellence for Gravitational-Wave Discovery, is looking for a postdoc to join our gravitational-wave group. Monash has a dynamic group and welcomes candidates with broad interests in theoretical astrophysics. The position focuses on gravitational-wave astronomy or high-energy astrophysics, including but not limited to:
- Gravitational-wave astrophysics and the interpretation of exciting new data on binary neutron star and black hole mergers
- Modelling massive stellar and binary evolution
- The interpretation of high-energy astrophysical transients, including tidal disruption events and gamma-ray bursts
- Astrostatistics, including gravitational-wave and LSST data analysis
- Stellar dynamics, X-ray binaries, test of gravity, …

We are looking for an excellent applicant to carry out research in gravitational-wave astronomy or high-energy astrophysics. This includes, but is not limited to, gravitational-wave data analysis, black hole and neutron star physics, massive stellar and binary evolution, pulsar timing, tests of gravity, high-energy transients such as gamma-ray bursts and tidal disruption events, x-ray binaries, stellar dynamics, cosmology or astrostatistics.
