This project will involve the analysis of astronomical data, and simulations of orbital evolution or thermal evolution. Candidates who have experience in (1) Observations and related data processes; (2) simulation of orbital evolution; or (3) magnetohydrodynamic simulation will be given priority.

The appointment will be for a period of at least 24 months, starting on September 1, or as soon as possible. The salary will be around 20000~25000 MOP per month, and there are funds for traveling.
