The Relativistic Jets and Blazars group at the Instituto de Astrofísica de Andalucía (CSIC) offers, trough a grant funded by the regional government of Andalusia, a four-year PhD position and a two-year postdoctoral contract.
Our research group is focussed on the study of relativistic jets commonly present in active galactic nuclei, produced by the mass accretion onto supermassive black holes. In particular we are interested in obtaining a better understanding of the role played by the magnetic field in the jet dynamics, formation, and high energy emission. This research is carried out through observations at multiple wave bands, from radio to optical, X and gamma rays. The interpretation of the observational results is performed through comparison with numerical models of the non-thermal emission from these objects.
We are looking for a postdoctoral researcher with experience in either observations (preferably in radio) or simulations of relativistic jets.
Interested candidates for the PhD position should have a B.S. in Physics prior to the starting of the position.
Reviewing of both applications will start in March/April 2010 and will continue until the positions are filled.
