Work duties
The researcher will work on the effects of stellar flybys and stellar evolution on planetary systems. The project involves running N-body simulations of planetary systems experiencing perturbations from other stars or from changes to their own star, in order to quantify the effects these have on observable properties such as multiplicity, orbital parameters and stellar atmospheric abundances.
Qualifications
The applicant must hold a PhD in astrophysics and have a research profile within celestial mechanics, N-body dynamics, and the effects of stellar flybys on planetary systems. Experience with N-body simulations of the moon systems of ice giants is a merit. Experience with supervising Bachelor's students is a merit.
