NEW YORK UNIVERSITY ABU DHABI: Submit-Doctoral Affiliate within the Division of Science (Physics) – Dr. Dave Russell

Description

New York College Abu Dhabi (NYUAD) is at present inviting purposes for a Submit-Doctoral Affiliate in Astrophysics, within the Middle for Astrophysics and Area Science (CASS). The place is obtainable for a interval of two years (1 12 months with an extra 12 months relying on efficiency). Aggressive wage and advantages, together with relocation, housing, house visits and academic subsidies for youngsters, are provided.

The present place is with Principal Investigator (PI) Affiliate Professor Dave Russell within the space of accretion onto compact objects. Stellar-mass black holes residing in X-ray binaries (XBs) produce essentially the most highly effective jets in our galaxy by way of accretion from an orbiting companion star. Research of XBs at the moment are revealing how jets evolve with mass accretion fee and the mode of accretion, offering insights into the circumstances required to launch jets. The primary goal of the research program of the PI is to uncover the character of relativistic jets and perceive the connections between accretion and ejection. The processes concerned in triggering outbursts, utilizing optical monitoring and the real-time pipeline X-ray Binary New Early Warning System (XB-NEWS) developed at NYUAD, and comparisons to AGN and different compact objects, are additionally studied. A number of strategies and approaches can be employed, particularly utilizing a wealth of multi-wavelength information of transient XBs (photometry, spectra and polarimetry), interactions between jets and the interstellar medium and information from different accreting objects resembling AGN, CVs and gamma-ray bursts. Funds can be found for travel to conferences, collaborations or observing journeys.

Candidates with curiosity and expertise within the research of accreting black holes or neutron stars, and candidates with expertise in multi-wavelength information evaluation, coding pipelines for optical imaging / photometric information evaluation, and spectral modelling, are strongly inspired to use. Profitable candidates can be inspired to develop unbiased tasks along with supporting the research of the PI. Candidates should maintain, or be within the technique of finishing, a Ph.D. diploma in Astronomy, Physics, Astrophysics or a associated topic and have demonstrated a robust research background. The Physics group at NYUAD at present has greater than 10 college members and 20 postdocs and research associates; most are members of the Middle for Astro, Particle, and Planetary Physics. The group shares shut hyperlinks with employees at NYU in New York.

Candidates should submit a canopy letter, curriculum vitae, checklist of publications, Analysis Assertion, and the names and make contact with data for 3 references in PDF format to be thought of. Functions submitted by thirty first Could 2024 can be given full consideration. In case you have any questions please contact Dr. Dave Russell dave.russell@nyu.edu
