Job Title

Are you interested in astrophysics and how advanced computational methods can investigate the dynamics of objects ranging from neutron stars to exoplanets? Would you like to be part of a supportive group at the University of Leeds? • Collaborate with Professor Hollerbach and Dr. Andrei Igoshev at Newcastle University on numerical modelling of magnetic fields in neutron star interiors. • Work with Professors Barker and Hollerbach on modelling tidal flows in stars and exoplanets. These roles involve applying modern numerical techniques to explore the evolution of magnetic fields and fluid flows, using existing codes and developing new ones, with potential comparisons to astronomical data. You should have a PhD in Mathematics, Astrophysics, or a related field, with a strong background in numerical methods and expertise relevant to the specific research option. Candidates should demonstrate the ability to conduct independent research and have a developing publication record in international journals. The School of Mathematics values Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion, offering a supportive environment with flexible and family-friendly working arrangements, including options for flexible and part-time work. We welcome discussions on flexible working arrangements. For further information or queries, please contact us.
