Postdoctoral Research
Vor 5 Tagen
The Leibniz Institute for Astrophysics Potsdam (AIP) is dedicated to astrophysical questions ranging from the study of our sun to the development of the cosmos. Research focuses on cosmic magnetic fields and extragalactic astrophysics as well as the development of research technologies in the fields of spectroscopy, robotic telescopes and e-science. The AIP carries out its research mission within the framework of numerous national, European and international collaborations. The institute is the successor to the Berlin Observatory, founded in 1700, and the Astrophysical Observatory Potsdam, founded in 1874, which was the first institute in the world to dedicate itself explicitly to astrophysics. The AIP has been a member of the Leibniz Association since 1992. Around 200 employees work at our location in the middle of a beautiful park landscape in Potsdam, not far from Berlin.
**Postdoctoral Research Position (M/F/d) in Plasma-Astrophysics**:
for a project on plasma-kinetic simulations of cosmic ray transport in galaxies and clusters.
**Overview**:
Funding for this position is provided by the European Research Council (ERC) through the PICOGGAL project _Mind the Gap: from Plasma Kinetics to Cosmological Galaxy Formation_. The project aims at studying a diverse set of problems ranging from the plasma physics of cosmic-ray transport, to exploring the impact of cosmic rays and magnetic fields on the formation and evolution of galaxies and clusters, to verifying the resulting non-thermal signatures. The postdoc will develop code, conduct particle-in-cell simulations of cosmic ray transport and plasma instabilities, and analyze them in the light of cosmic ray feedback in galaxies and acceleration processes in galaxy clusters.
**Qualifications and position**:
**Conditions**:
Salary and benefits are attractive and commensurate with those of public service organizations in Germany at the TV-L level E13, depending on the requirements of the collective agreement (professional experience and expertise). We also provide social benefits of the collective agreement for the public service (TV-L) incl. the company pension VBL with pension for reduced earning capacity and surviving dependents as well as a subsidy for the job ticket.
**Application**:
