We invite applications for a highly motivated Postdoctoral Researcher to work on an exciting project focused on the formation and growth of massive black holes in the early Universe. The successful candidate will contribute to a new generation of multi-scale, multi-physics simulations, combining cosmological radiation-hydrodynamical simulations with direct N-body modeling using the Astrophysical MUlti-purpose Software Environment (AMUSE).

PhD in Astrophysics, Physics, or a closely related field (for postdoctoral applicants). Strong background in computational astrophysics and numerical simulations. Experience with N-body simulations, hydrodynamics, or stellar dynamics. Proficiency in Python, C/C++, or similar scientific programming languages. Ability to work independently and collaboratively within an international research team.

Experience with AMUSE, radiation hydrodynamics, or cosmological simulations. Familiarity with black hole physics, stellar evolution, or dense star clusters. Interest in connecting simulations with observational data (JWST).
