A two-year term on “Resolving and tracking relativistic astrophysical transients with radio interferometry” is offered in the VLBI and high energy group at the Institute of Radio Astronomy (IRA) in Bologna.  The IRA is one of several institutions part of the greater Italian National Institute for Astrophysics (INAF).  IRA operates the 32m VLBI dishes in Medicina and Noto, which are part of the European VLBI Network and the Northern Cross interferometer in Medicina.  The group is active in the field of high energy astrophysics, in particular in the study of compact radio sources over a large range of mass scales. The first year of the fellowship will be primarily devoted to the study of the 2021 outburst from RS Oph, based on data from our exquisite EVN campaign (for a preview, please see this paper and this presentation), with the possibility to continue personal projects on a side; the second year is pretty much open for other projects on relativistic astrophysical transients (e.g. GRB afterglows, binaries, GW counterparts).
