Research Fellow in Low Mass Stars and Exoplanets
Ref. 08/100377
School of Mathematics and Physics, Queen's University Belfast
Applications are invited for a 3-year Post Doctoral Research
Fellowship position in low mass stars and exoplanets, funded in part
by the Science & Technology Facilities Council (STFC). The post is
located within the Astrophysics Research Centre (ARC) of the School
of Mathematics and Physics. ARC is one of the founders of the WASP
Project and operates and maintains the SuperWASP facility on La
Palma. The Exoplanet Group within ARC is well supported by STFC and
is expanding. By mid-2008 the group is expected to consist of 3
academic staff, 3 research staff and a number of PhD students.
Applicants must have a PhD in a relevant subject either awarded or
submitted by the time of taking up the post. Experience of
observational techniques used in astrophysics, including spectroscopy
and photometry plus associated data reduction techniques, are
essential. However these do not have to be at optical wavelengths.
Also essential is a reasonable number of high quality publications
commensurate with stage of career.
Informal enquiries can be directed to Prof. Alan Fitzsimmons (email:
[log in to unmask]).
An application pack for the post, containing further details of the
essential and desirable criteria, as well as instructions on how to
submit an application, is available from our website:
