Missions

We expect the successful candidate to study the population of millisecond pulsars towards the inner regions of our Galaxy, and the multi-wavelength properties of these objects from radio to high-energy gamma rays.

Activités

The work will include the analysis and interpretation of timing radio data.

Compétences

We need a person with extensive know-how in time-domain radio astronomy and/or solid formation in compact object population synthesis codes. Knowledge of the Galactic disk and bulge modelling would be a plus. Applicants should have a proven track record in one or several of these expertises.

Contexte de travail

This position is embedded within the strong collaboration between IPAG (Grenoble, France) and LAPTh (Annecy, France), aiming at studying the contribution of millisecond pulsars in a multi-messenger context. The successful candidate will be hosted by the SHERPAS team at IPAG, collaborating closely with the Astroparticle & Cosmology group of LAPTh. These teams have top records in the observations of compact objects, in theoretical and numerical modelling and in high-energy astrophysics, and have strong connections with radio experts in Australia, France, Germany and in the United States. Candidates will have access to state-of-the-art pulsar datasets (MeerKAT, Parkes, GBT) and collaboration opportunities in both radio and high-energy astronomy.

Ideally located on the Grenoble Alpes University campus, IPAG benefits from a stimulating professional environment with direct views on the mountains and plenty of public amenities.
