Simons Postdoctoral Fellow
Montana State University, Inc. 4.1
Fellow job in Bozeman, MT
The successful candidate will join a global network of Simons Postdoctoral Fellows in Strong Gravity and Black Holes that are part of the Simons-BHSG. This new, multidisciplinary and multinational collaboration explores the non-linear and dynamical nature of strong gravity and black holes in and beyond Albert Einstein's theory of general relativity through gravitational observations. The collaboration brings together mathematicians, physicists, numerical experts and data analysts to work on the following themes:
The mathematical study of singularities and the stability of rapidly rotating black holes in general relativity,
The analytical and numerical study of the potential breakdown of effective field theory methods outside black holes,
The analytical and numerical modeling of the dynamics of (and gravitational waves emitted in) binary black hole coalescence (including the inspiral, merger and ringdown phases) through perturbative (post-Newtonian and black hole perturbation theory) and non-perturbative (numerical) methods,
The connection of light-ring physics and ringdown physics in and outside of general relativity in light of current and future gravitational observations,
The creation of new methods and tests to extract features about strong gravity predicted in Einstein's theory and in beyond-Einstein theories from gravitational-wave observations,
The amelioration of systematics induced by the mismodeling of gravitational waves, of astrophysical environments, or of noise artifacts in gravitational-wave inference,
The development of Bayesian data analysis techniques to carry out parameter estimation and model selection in non-stationary and non-Gaussian noise through traditional and AI-techniques,
The collaboration's major goal is to reveal deep insights about our cosmos at the intersection of strong gravity in general relativity, strong gravity beyond Einstein and gravitational observations.
Duties and Responsibilities
The successful candidate will conduct research on observational tests of strong gravity under the mentorship of Professor Neil Cornish.
Prepare research presentations and publications.
Participate in Simons Collaboration workshops and working groups.
