Dear colleagues,

Apologies in advance if you received this more than once. Please feel free to share this information with interested candidates.

The Max Planck Institute for Radio Astronomy (MPIfR) is recruiting a Postdoctoral Researcher in Astrophysics to join the project MuSES (Multi-messenger Studies of Extragalactic Super-colliders), led by Prof. Yuri Kovalev (ERC grant No. 101142396).

The project focuses on the physical processes near supermassive black holes that launch and propagate relativistic jets in active galactic nuclei (AGN).

Project Objectives

1. Observational studies of AGN jet geometry, collimation, and acceleration.
2. Probing neutrino production mechanisms using multi-messenger blazar data.

The prime goal is to combine VLBI observations with other electromagnetic and neutrino data to deepen our understanding of particle acceleration and neutrino production in blazars.

Candidate Profile

We seek a researcher whose scientific interests align with one or more of the project objectives. Experience in any of the following areas is desirable, though not strictly required:

• Radio interferometry techniques and VLBI
• Modern methods of electromagnetic or multi-messenger statistical data analysis
• AGN jet simulations
