The School of Physics and Astronomy at Monash University seeks a research fellow in transient astrophysics. The project investigates r-process element production in kilonovae from neutron-star mergers and in collapsars from rapidly rotating massive stars, connecting observations with nucleosynthesis and multi-messenger models. The fellow will collaborate with Monash’s observational transient group, the OzGrav transients working group and international researchers in supernova physics and stellar evolution. This Clayton-based, full-time Level A appointment lasts two years, with a possible one-y
In Astronomy and Astrophysics
Two- to three-year appointments in Masaru Shibata’s division investigate relativistic astrophysics with high-performance computation. Topics include neutron-star mergers, collapsars, nucleosynthesis, stellar collapse and explosions, massive black-hole formation and multimessenger astrophysics. Researchers have access to Max Planck Computing and Data Facility resources. Positions begin from 1 September 2027; 13 December 2026 is the full-consideration deadline.
