Department of Physics
Post-doctoral Researchers in THEORETICAL ASTROPHYSICS AND COSMOLOGY
The Department of Physics wishes to make post-doctoral appointments
for up to three years to work in the areas of theoretical cosmology
and particle astrophysics. Particular areas of interest for our
theoretical programme are large-scale structure and galaxy formation,
galaxy evolution, cosmic background radiation anisotropy and non-baryonic
dark-matter signatures. One of the new positions will be the newly
endowed BIPAC fellowship in particle astrophysics and cosmology to be
held in association with Queens College. Other grant-supported
positions are expected to be with Benson and Ferreira. The successful
candidates are likely to have demonstrated a capacity for independent work
and be capable of initiating research in a lively group with significant
activity across these areas. The newly opened Beecroft Institute for
Particle Astrophysics and Cosmology (BIPAC) will accommodate new appointees.
A 128-processor Beowulf computer system is available exclusively for projects
in cosmology and particle astrophysics.
In observational astronomy, our programme spans galaxy evolution and
cosmology, including stellar dynamics and populations, galaxy clusters,
the physics of active galaxies and their use as cosmological probes, and
galaxy and quasar surveys. The group is the focus for UK involvement in the Gemini
Observatories hosting the UK Gemini Support Group. We have a growing
instrumentation group that, in collaboration with RAL, is constructing
the fibre-fed infrared MOS for the Japanese 8m Subaru telescope and
the VISTA wide field near-infrared camera. We are participating in the design
and construction of integral field units, optical and infrared
spectrographs, including KMOS & MUSE for the ESO VLT and design studies
for the WFMOS & Extreme AO instruments for Gemini.
The post-holders will have the opportunity to engage in teaching for
up to 3 hours per week during term. The starting salary is from
19,460 - 29,128 UKP pa depending on skills and experience. A benefits
package and a research budget for travel and other expenses will be
provided. Further particulars are available from Mrs S Blackshaw at the
address below or by email to sec@astro.ox.ac.uk. Applicants should send a
statement of research interests, curriculum vitae, list of publications,
and provide the names and contact information of three referees, to
arrive by 1 December 2004. In addition, candidates should arrange for
letters from the referees to be sent to the address below by the closing date. While
preference will be given to applications that arrive by the closing date,
we will also consider late applications which arrive prior to the final
short-listing of candidates. Applications and all other correspondence
should quote reference DB04008 and be sent to:
Mrs S Blackshaw

Denys Wilkinson Building
Keble Road
Oxford OX1 3RH
United Kingdom.
Applications will be acknowledged but not reference letters.
