Applicants with interest and experience in observational/computational astrophysics, radiative transfer, and the physics of the circumstellar matter are encouraged to apply. The successful applicant will be expected to carry out independent research for this project and collaborate with other members of the ERC group, Konkoly Observatory, and its international partners. Konkoly Observatory has close connections to the Max Planck Institute for Astronomy (Heidelberg, Germany). The postdoc position comes with generous travel funds. The postdoc will have no teaching duties, although supervising students is possible.

Konkoly Observatory is Hungary’s largest astronomical institute, located in a newly renovated building in a beautiful natural reserve area, half hour from the city center. The observatory has been dynamically expanding in recent years, including two ERC-funded projects and several international staff members. The observatory maintains telescopes at a Hungarian mountain station and astronomers regularly observe with international instrumentation as well.
