Postdoctoral Research Position in Extragalactic Astrophysics
University of Birmingham
The Astrophysics and Space Research Group at the University of
Birmingham invites applications for a postdoctoral position in
extragalactic astrophysics. The successful candidate will complement and
expand existing research activities within the extragalactic group.
Applications are particularly encouraged within the areas of galaxy
formation and evolution, gravitational lensing, and the epoch of
re-ionization.
Observational studies of galaxy evolution at the University of
Birmingham focus on the role of environment, and exploit
multi-wavelength surveys such as GOGREEN (a Gemini Large spectroscopic
survey of high redshift galaxy groups and clusters), GEEC/GEEC2, LoCuSS
and XXL. The successful candidate will have an opportunity to make a
major contribution to these and other surveys. Candidates interested in
numerical extragalactic astrophysics, and future exploitation of
facilities including Euclid and LSST are also encouraged to apply.
Funding for this position is expected to begin on April 1, 2016, with
preferred start date as soon as possible after this. The appointment
will be made for three years.
