- Running our code on several supercomputers and be prepared to run very big simulations.
- Analyzing the data and deriving some physical models.
- In the end, we will tackle the problem of melting under the effects of rotation or magnetic field.

You should have
- PhD in fluid dynamics, physics, or applied mathematics with a strong computational background.
- Experience in development of CFD code and in running on big clusters.
- Understanding turbulence or dynamo theory is a plus.
- Very good command of English (min B2-Level)

Employment Conditions
