Lectureship in Stellar Astrophysics
The School of Physics and Astronomy at the University of Birmingham
invites applications for a tenured faculty position in the Solar and
Stellar Astrophysics Group at the Lectureship level, or exceptionally at
a higher level. The research activities of the group are centred on
studies of stars, including the Sun, the characterization of exoplanet
systems and stellar population studies, using in particular the
techniques of helio- and asteroseismology. Expertise in the group spans
the domains of observation and instrumentation through to theory and
modelling. Members of the group have leading positions in major
international projects, such as Kepler, K2, PLATO and TESS. The group
runs its own global network of helioseismic observatories, the
Birmingham Solar-Oscillations Network (BiSON). It is also one of the
nodes of the Stellar Astrophysics Centre (SAC), an international centre
of excellence in stellar and exoplanet studies. The appointment is
expected to contribute to and expand existing research activities.
Applications are invited in the areas of stellar and solar studies, with
an emphasis on expertise in the domain of data-analysis. Experience with
instrumentation may also be beneficial. The successful applicant will
also contribute to the School's undergraduate and postgraduate teaching.
