Description
The ITC Fellowship supports postdoctoral research at the Institute for Theory and Computation (ITC), part of the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics. The institute seeks candidates working in any field related to theoretical and/or numerical astrophysics. Its central objective is to integrate conceptual theory with computational modeling rather than concentrate on a single astrophysical topic.
Fellows have access to ITC computing facilities and opportunities to interact and collaborate with researchers at both the Harvard College Observatory and the Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory. The institute’s senior membership includes Harvard faculty and Smithsonian scientists. Applicants are also welcome to discuss their experience or commitment to mentoring, outreach, and teaching within their research statement.
