The Nicolaus Copernicus Astronomical Center (CAMK PAN) in Warsaw, Poland, is advertising a postdoctoral position in numerical astrophysics within the OPUS 30 project “The puzzle of the spins of stellar-mass black holes” (2025/59/B/ST9/01180). The project is financed by the Polish National Science Centre and is led by Prof. Andrzej Zdziarski. The successful candidate will work on the investigation of accretion flows onto spinning black holes using numerical simulations, in collaboration with Dr. Hab. Krzysztof Nalewajko and Prof. Zdziarski. This is a research-intensive role focused on high-energy astrophysics, black-hole spin physics, and computational methods in astronomy. The appointment is a full-time temporary postdoctoral position with funding available for up to 36 months. The position is based at CAMK PAN in Warszawa, Poland. Eligibility is for applicants with a PhD or equivalent in astrophysics, astronomy, or physics, or for candidates expected to obtain the degree in the year of employment in the project or within 12 years before January 1 of the employment year. Excellent English is required, and experience with numerical methods and high-energy astrophysics is preferred. Applicants should submit a CV, publication list, a two-page statement of research interests and future plans, a copy of the PhD diploma, and the DGPD declaration. Two recommendation letters must be sent directly by referees. All documents should be sent in PDF format by email to [email protected] with the subject line “PostDoc competition in OPUS 30, 2025/59/B/ST9/01180”. The deadline is 18 October 2026. This opportunity may be of particular interest to researchers working in astrophysics, numerical simulations, accretion physics, and compact objects, especially those interested in black hole spin and high-energy phenomena.
