Obsidian; Paris; À distance; EUR 97 000 - 133 000; Temps partiel

Résumé du poste

Obsidian is seeking a PhD-level researcher to work on publication-quality, research-grade physics problems related to convection stability. You will match to subareas, produce rigorous reasoning, and review others’ work in a remote, asynchronous setting.

You should have a track record in convection stability, be proficient in LaTeX, Python and Jupyter, and be comfortable with VS Code extensions. This is a highly specialized, publish-or-perish style role with flexible hours.

Qualifications

• PhD in fluid mechanics, applied mathematics, mechanical engineering or closely related field.
• Published work on convection stability specifically.
