Postdoctoral Fellow in Simulations of Planetary and Cometary System Dynamics

The Department of Astronomy at Stockholm University invites applications for a Postdoctoral Fellow position focused on developing and applying advanced numerical simulation techniques to investigate the long-term dynamical evolution of planetary and cometary systems around single and binary stars. The project will explore how stellar clusters, stellar evolution, and binary interactions influence planetary system formation and stability. The successful candidate will work within a dynamic research environment, contributing to state-of-the-art numerical methods that integrate gravitational dynamics with detailed models of stellar and binary evolution. The position offers full-time employment for 2–3 years, with a start date of February 1, 2027, or by agreement.
