Northwestern University is offering two postdoctoral associate positions in astrophysical fluid dynamics, one starting Jan 1, 2025, the other starting Fall 2025. The positions are part of a Simons Foundation grant on “Fundamental Fluid Processes in Climate, Stellar, and Planetary Modeling” and will be supervised by Prof. Daniel Lecoanet. The postdocs will study different problems related to waves in stellar interiors (e.g., wave-induced angular momentum transport, chemical mixing, nonlinear wave interactions), and will also be part of an interdisciplinary collaboration team studying similar problems with applications in planetary science, atmospheric science, and oceanography. Appointments will be for a two-year term, with the possibility to extend for a third year. The start dates are flexible.
