Your assignment consists of the following tasks
- You extend the SKIRT radiation transfer code with the filters and other characteristics of the ARRAKIHS mission
- You will investigate and implement advanced imaging techniques in SKIRT, in particular techniques optimized for creating images with low surface brightness.

- You help in the development of cosmological simulations with alternative forms of dark matter.
- You collaborate with the members of the ARRAKIHS Science Team and participate and contribute to their meetings.
- You interact with other members of the Ghent University SKIRT team, and contribute to the research in the research group and to the general development of the SKIRT code.
- You contribute to education in the Physics and Astronomy course, and/or in the Master of Space Studies course.

**WHAT WE ARE LOOKING FOR**
- You hold a thesis-based doctorate in Astronomy, Physics or Mathematics.
- You have experience in high-quality scientific research in astronomy, preferably in numerical astrophysics.
- You have a strong interest in the formation and evolution of galaxies and in the research into dark matter.
- You have a strong computational background, you are familiar with object-oriented programming and image processing techniques.
