Postdoctoral Position in Pulsar Related Astronomy and Astrophysics

Postdoctoral Researcher – Neutron Stars, Pulsars, and Fast Radio Bursts

The Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL), managed by the California Institute of Technology, invites applications for a postdoctoral research position focused on studies of neutron stars, pulsars, and fast radio bursts.

The successful candidate will develop and carry out an innovative research program in one or more of the following areas: searching for pulsars in the Galactic Center, precision multi‑frequency timing of pulsars, applying pulsars to fundamental physics tests, and multi‑wavelength observations of fast radio bursts and magnetars. Projects may involve ground‑based instruments such as the Deep Space Network and the Green Bank Telescope, and space‑based instruments such as NICER and the Fermi Gamma‑ray Space Telescope.
