Just submitted your PhD thesis in numerical astrophysics, or finished your doctorate? IIT Guwahati has one research post on an ISRO project about accretion disks in strong gravity. You can even do the interview from home.
It is a small field, so a post like this does not come along often. See more research openings on our Latest Jobs page.

Mark Thursday, 3 December, in your diary. No call letter will come to you, so nobody will remind you. The advert does not print a closing date for forms, so please apply through the portal as soon as you can.
Vacancy and Category-wise Details
There is a single post, with no category listed.
Is This You?
The essential requirement is narrow: a PhD in numerical astrophysical flows, or at least a submitted thesis, along with a proven publication record.
If you worked on numerical simulations of flows, especially in magnetic fields, this is a close fit. If your work is purely observational, it may be harder to make the case. This is our reading, so feel free to contact the project head and ask.
What Is the Project About?
Its title is “Magneto-Hydrodynamics Effects on Accretion Disks in Strong Gravity”. Accretion disks are the discs of hot matter that spiral into objects like black holes. The project is at the Department of Physics, and it is planned for 1 + 1 years. Your appointment is listed for 11 months.
Selection and Exam Pattern
Everything depends on your performance in the online interview. There is no written test in the advert. So be prepared to explain your thesis, your code and your main papers clearly.
