PDRAs in Extrasolar Planet Research
Keele University
Applications are invited for two PDRAs in extrasolar planet research.
The WASP-South survey for exoplanet transits, operated by Keele
University as part of the WASP consortium, is the leading transit-search
program in the Southern hemisphere, having found the 12 brightest
transiting planets in the South.
The PDRAs will join Keele's exoplanet team, and will participate in the
operation of WASP-South and the discovery of further WASP planets.
They will also have early access to WASP planets for followup science,
and will be expected to develop and lead science exploitation of WASP
planets and other extrasolar planets.
Applicants should have or expect to obtain a PhD in astrophysics or a
related area, and have a background showing an aptitude to contribute
to the WASP project in the above areas. The posts will be offered for up
to 3 years with a likely starting date of October 2009. The salary
range is likely to be GBP 29,705 - GBP 36,533.
