About this position

Postdoctoral research at the Department of Astronomy, Stockholm University

This postdoctoral project focuses on the long-term dynamical evolution of planetary and cometary systems around single and binary stars. The successful candidate will work on developing and applying advanced numerical simulation techniques to study how gravitational interactions, close stellar encounters in clusters, stellar evolution, and binary evolution shape the stability and architecture of planets and minor-body populations.

The project is based in the Department of Astronomy at Stockholm University, which has around 80 employees and 30 PhD students. The department’s research spans galaxies, supernovae, computational astrophysics, solar physics, and planet- and star-formation, offering a broad and active astrophysical environment.

The advertised research combines gravitational dynamics with detailed stellar and binary evolution modelling. It is aimed at understanding how planetary systems respond to the changing gravitational environment of their host stars over very long timescales, and how complex outcomes can emerge in binary systems.

The position is primarily research-oriented, with the possibility of limited departmental duties if mutually agreed. The university highlights its international working environment and its setting in the National City Park with good transport links to central Stockholm.
