Open positions

The Núcleo Milenio for Transversal Research and Technology to explore Supermassive Black Holes (TITANS) invites applications to fill one postdoctoral position in SMBH astrophysics. We will give priority to candidates that can expand or complement our group from the computational and theoretical perspectives. The positions can be hosted at any of the TITANS member universities, including UAI in Viña del Mar. Deadline is Dec 10, 2024.

Tenemos proyectos y financiamiento para estudiantes de astronomía, física e ingeniería, de pre- o postgrado, interesada/os en trabajar con nosotros. ¡Contáctanos! En particular, estamos buscando estudiantes que quieran continuar el desarrollo de un videojuego basado en simulaciones astrofísicas.
