Dear Jared,

Attached is a postdoctoral job ad for TWO positions within the TARDIS
collaboration (more details https://aas.org/jobregister/ad/2930606a
<https://wkerzendorf-dot-yamm-track.appspot.com/2A9jz0qGcbV93Qitw_gV9Thdm2sh-LwX7bFg33jwuXvnHudZXkgH4MRTdSYdLbb-4I9_lvlIWuhPvd1whE_8ah47cXTb2wqNK-R7f70CXiZ7ldDhZD2kkqKfIhSPXVkpdKrJOyJP4jBlJUePQF9bjPVWLCrwp136oeLHiS7uP-7DLEFaEQYVdFAV_>)
. Could you share this with interested individuals?

Numerical modeling of astrophysical transients with the open-science TARDIS
collaboration

The TARDIS Radiative Transfer Group at Michigan State University invites
applications for postdoctoral positions to model astrophysical transients
using the open-science Monte Carlo radiative-transfer framework, TARDIS
<https://wkerzendorf-dot-yamm-track.appspot.com/269gYDdcM7_rfkwE4keUy2yXACQTYWFkkg2DqSa_UVuLMudZXkgFEQEjR-mdMJFc1sTnbna0jT0paKoLhPBovaJyKN0e8jttQCYV4tzEF--luRIlL1ppcMIPYwb258Ns14wT09RHUs7gk7qnD17amXmJ4y5KdfYkGgmV5ovsMLZC7dyOn-w>.
While some responsibilities include extending the TARDIS code, the primary
focus is on conducting research with the code to analyze observational data
and publish results.

We are seeking candidates for two research areas:

1.Common Envelope Events in Binary Star Systems: Utilize TARDIS to
post-process hydrodynamic simulations and generate synthetic spectra for
these events.

2.Late-Phase Type Ia Supernova Studies: Analyze nebular spectroscopy and
light curves, enhance microphysics in TARDIS, and compare findings with
recent spectral data.

Candidates must hold a Ph.D. in astronomy, physics, or a related field by
the appointment start date (no later than Fall 2025). Applications from
underrepresented groups are strongly encouraged. Experience with radiative
transfer methods is a plus but not required. A background in open-source
software development and open science is particularly valued.

These positions offer professional development opportunities in leadership,
mentoring, paper and grant writing, presentations, and networking.
Successful applicants will contribute to the TARDIS framework and are
expected to lead the publication of research results.


To apply, please submit a brief cover letter describing your interest in
the position and any proposed research projects using TARDIS, a curriculum
vitae including your thesis title, publication list, mentorship experience,
and contributions to open science (if applicable), and contact information
for three references (letters will be requested later). For full
consideration, apply by October 31; however, the positions will remain open
until filled. Applications must be submitted through the MSU hiring
