Research Scientist in the Division of Engineering (Mechanical Engineering) - Dr. Mohammed Daqaq

New York University

<div>Professor Dave Russell at New York University Abu Dhabi (NYUAD) is seeking a Research Scientist to conduct studies in the area of accretion onto compact objects. Candidates with interest and experience in technical expertize related to coding and maintaining pipelines for optical imaging / photometric data analysis, are strongly encouraged to apply. Interest in the study of accreting black holes or neutron stars are also preferred. Competitive salary and benefits, including relocation, housing, home visits and educational subsidies for children, are offered.
Resposibilities:
In this role, you will write and test pipelines for astronomical data analysis, analyze multi-wavelength astronomical data from black hole and neutron star X-ray binaries and related objects, and obtain new data of these sources. This includes, but not limited to; preparing publications based on the results, giving presentations at international conferences and institutes/universities and working with members of the Accretion &amp; Jets group of D. Russell at NYUAD, and international collaborators.
Candidates would be working with Principal Investigator (PI) Dave Russell and his group. The Physics group at NYUAD currently has more than a dozen faculty members and 20+ post-docs and research associates; most are members of the Center for Astrophysics and Space Science (CASS). The group shares close links with staff at NYU in New York. Stellar-mass black holes residing in X-ray binaries (XBs) produce the most powerful jets in our galaxy via accretion from an orbiting companion star. The main objective of the research program of the PI is to uncover the nature of accretion and relativistic jets onto black holes and neutron stars, and understand the connections between accretion and ejection. The processes involved in triggering outbursts, using optical monitoring and the real-time pipeline X-ray Binary New Early Warning System (XB-NEWS) developed at NYUAD, and comparisons to AGN and other compact objects, are also studied. A host of techniques and approaches are employed, in particular using a wealth of multi-wavelength data of transient XBs (photometry, spectra and polarimetry), interactions between jets and the interstellar medium and data from other accreting objects such as AGN, CVs and gamma-ray bursts. Funds are available for travel to conferences, collaborations or observing trips. Successful candidates will be encouraged to develop independent projects in addition to supporting the research of the PI.
