Offer Description

The Director of the Center for Theoretical Physics PAS invites applications for
auxiliary technical position at the CTP PAS, financed from the project MAESTRO 15 "Dynamics of processes around compact stars" funded by National Science Center (registration No. 2023/50/A/ST9/00527).

PI of the project is Prof. dr hab. Agnieszka Janiuk.

 

The aim of the project is to study accretion flows around compact stars, such as black holes and neutron stars. Using numerical computer simulations, a model of the accretion disk instability, driven by a dominant radiation pressure (RPI), is studied. We also study the black hole accretion and ejection of plasma in a form of jets and winds, related to gamma ray bursts (GRBs) and kilonovae. For this research, we use computer codes based on Relativistic Magneto-hydrodynamics, developed by project PI and her group.

 

The scope of work of the successful Candidate within the project will be on software development to support the HARM and GLADIS codes. Additional tasks are related with: code installation and testing on different HPC platforms, libraries and compilers, code debugging and backward compatibility checks. Maintaining the version control repository. Development of scientific visualisation scripts. Help in development and maintaining the project website and social media services.
