The mission is a project in theoretical nuclear physics and nuclear astrophysics at the frontier of research on heavy ion collisions, finite nuclei, and neutron stars. The project aims to develop innovative research using state-of-the-art approaches to describe finite nuclei and heavy ion collisions, analyzing the global properties of the nuclear interaction to further constrain the nuclear equation of state. The candidate will work in close collaboration with the team members, as well as with our partners in the USA and France.

The following activities are envisaged:
- The use of statistical methods and machine learning techniques to quantify uncertainties in the results.
- Formal derivation of the theoretical equations to be solved.
- Developing new codes (parallel programming and/or HPC) and obtaining reliable results.
- The candidate is expected to actively participate in making the codes accessible to a wide community: writing comments in the codes, writing notes and maintaining during the project, as well as feedback from the community.
- Writing progress reports and articles.
- Presenting results to the community (workshops, conferences).
- Working as part of a team in a collaborative, multidisciplinary environment, with virtual meetings and the use of collaborative tools, such as github, overleaf, or multi-partner discussion channels (slack or other).

The position is within the CNRS-MSU International Research Laboratory in Nuclear Physics and Nuclear Astrophysics, housed at FRIB MSU and located in East Lansing, Michigan. The supervisory team is composed of P. Danielewicz, W. Lynch, J. Margueron, and B. Tsang. Working as part of a team in a collaborative, multidisciplinary environment, with virtual meetings and the use of collaborative tools, such as GitHub, overleaf, or multi-partner discussion channels (slack or other). Most of the codes developed during this project will be made open-source for further improvements and for the scientific community.
