Liverpool, United Kingdom Liverpool John Moores University Full time

Liverpool John Moores University (LJMU) is a distinctive, unique institution, rooted in the Liverpool City Region and with a global presence. Our students and staff, past, present, and future, are the beating heart of our city and can be found in every corner of every industry and community. We couldn’t exist anywhere else and have shaped the city in which we belong. Working with the people of Liverpool to improve lives and support communities is at the heart of why we were founded and why we exist today.

A four-year post-doctoral research post within the Astrophysics Research Institute (ARI) at LJMU is available, working with Dr Gavin Lamb on the electromagnetic counterparts to gravitational wave detected sources (GW-EM) and high energy transients e.g., gamma-ray bursts (GRB).

You will have experience setting up, running, and interpreting the results of hydrodynamic simulations of relativistic jets. However, you will have a strong and independent research track record in any area of GW-EM and/or GRBs will be considered.

You will be encouraged to initiate, build, and grow existing (group) or new collaboration networks to maximise the impact, scope, and reach of the various research projects as well as present key results at both domestic and international conferences and/or collaborator's institutions. The position provides opportunities to work with and mentor PhD students within the time domain astronomy group at the ARI.

In return, we offer an excellent benefits package including generous annual leave entitlement, pension scheme, induction and development support as well as family-friendly policies.

This is an exciting time to join LJMU in our bicentenary year and with the launch of our new strategic plan.

If you feel that this is the role you have been looking for and your skills and experience can make a real difference at LJMU, we look forward to hearing from you.

**Please include an academic CV, publication list, and 2-page research statement**
