DOE CSGF - CPS - Garcia, Fred - 4.3.26.
About The Position
The practicum focuses on analyzing galaxy clusters using the Frontier-E cosmological hydrodynamic simulation, the largest baryonic simulation of the universe to date. The goal is to characterize the physical and statistical properties of massive galaxy clusters—such as their gas content, thermal structure, and morphology—and compare these results with observational data to evaluate current astrophysical models. This work will involve large-scale data analysis on high-performance computing systems and contribute to understanding how well simulations reproduce real cosmic structures. Ultimately, the project aims to produce publishable results that advance our knowledge of galaxy cluster formation and cosmology. Education and Experience Requirements The entirety of the appointment must be conducted within the United States. Must be 18 years or older at the time the appointment begins. Applicants must be: o Currently enrolled in undergraduate or graduate studies at an accredited institution. o Graduated from an accredited institution within the past 3 months; or o Actively enrolled in a graduate program at an accredited institution.
