Postdoctoral Fellowship in Star Formation and Astrophysics (MSCA PF 2026) Konkoly Observatory, HUN-REN CSFK in United Kingdom

KU Leuven’s Institute of Astronomy is recruiting two postdoctoral researchers for SOPHIA , a new European Research Council (ERC) Advanced Grant led by Prof. Leen Decin . The project focuses on the physics of giant binary stars and the broader problem of how mass loss , stellar winds , and binary interactions shape stellar evolution and the evolution of galaxies. Position A centers on stellar winds, mass loss, radiative transfer , and dust formation. The successful candidate will help develop nex...

KU Leuven’s Institute of Astronomy is offering two postdoctoral positions within the ERC Advanced Grant project SOPHIA, led by Prof. Leen Decin. The project aims to deepen our understanding of how stars evolve by moving beyond simplified models and incorporating key physical processes such as mass loss, stellar winds, and binary interactions. Using cutting-edge observations, advanced modelling, and large datasets including Gaia DR4, SOPHIA addresses fundamental questions in stellar astrophysics ...
