Postdoctoral Fellow - Moscow Idaho

Company: University of Idaho Job
Location: Moscow, Idaho
Posted On: 04/02/2026

Position Overview A postdoctoral position is available in the Department of Physics at the University of Idaho. The primary focus of this position is advancing numerical relativity methods for compact binary systems. Specifically, the scholar will conduct research in numerical relativity by extending the Einstein Toolkit, BlackHoles@Home, and the superB project to perform state-of-the-art simulations of compact binaries (including, for example, binary black holes, binary neutron stars, and black hole–neutron star binaries). The broader goals are to generate accurate predictions for gravitational-wave and multimessenger signals and to explore challenging regimes of parameter space. Required Experience Demonstrated research in numerical relativity, computational general relativity, or a closely related area of computational physics. Experience with PDE solvers (elliptic and/or hyperbolic), numerical methods, and scientific software development. Proficiency in C/C++ and Python, with experience in HPC environments (e.g., MPI /OpenMP; GPU experience a plus). Record of peer-reviewed publications appropriate to career stage. More...
