Hydrodynamical simulations of the intergalactic medium”

A call is open for a selection procedure on the basis of candidates’ qualifications, integrated by a
possible interview, for the assignment of one “Post Doc Research Grant” of the duration of one
year, with a possible extension, entitled: “Hydrodynamical simulations of the intergalactic
medium” as part of the “THEORY GRANT - Cosmological Investigation of the Cosmic”.
The selection process is aimed to recruit one qualified staff unit to develop a vigorous scientific
program on the intergalactic medium from a modeling/theoretical perspective, analyzing and
developing hydrodynamic simulations of cosmic structure formation, both in standard simulations
and in alternative cosmological models, and comparing these simulations with public and
proprietary data.
The fellowship is aimed at this specific research project, and was not announced with the aim of
programming longer term recruitment either of the Institute or of the project itself, but of offering
the opportunity to carry out research activities in the framework of the project to candidates who
deem it useful to their professional growth.
We specify that the aim of this selection procedure is to:
5
 offer the opportunity of professional development to young candidates holding research
master degrees, to research fellows and to fixed-term contract staff who wish to engage in
the national and international research environment, with a view to turnover and mobility,
which means recruitment of specific professional skills within fixed-term projects and/or
activities;
 to appoint in this way positions which are external to recruitment programming of
permanent staff positions and therefore do not represent any binding prerequisite for access
to permanent staff positions of the Institute.
Further questions on the scientific project can be addressed to prof. Matteo Viel (e-mail: viel[at]
