Institute of Cosmology and Gravitation
Senior Research Fellow in Data Intensive Science
Employment type: Fixed-term (3 years)
Employment basis: Full-time
Salary: GBP 37,768 - GBP 46,414 per annum
Position number: ZZ003330
Closing date: 06 June 2016
Interview date: To be scheduled between 13/06/2016 and 17/06/2016
The Institute of Cosmology and Gravitation (ICG) intends to appoint a
Senior Research Fellow in Data Intensive Science from 1st July 2016, or
as soon as possible thereafter. The post is to enhance and complement
the programme of world-class research at the ICG.
Data Intensive Science (or "Big Data") has been recognised by the UK
government as one of the eight great technologies. This fellowship is to
build capacity in this exciting area of research and innovation, drawing
on a variety of data-rich possibilities at the University of Portsmouth.
The post is based in the ICG which is recognised for its world-leading
research in large complex data (e.g. SDSS, DES, LSST and SKA). The
successful candidate will have an excellent research record,
complementing and extending the existing research interests and
expertise in cosmology and astrophysics. They will be expected to
develop new opportunities for research and innovation, and to attract
external funding. Holders of personal research fellowships are
encouraged to apply.
We welcome applications from all qualified applicants, but applications
are particularly encouraged from traditionally under-represented groups
in science. The ICG and the University of Portsmouth both hold an Athena
SWAN bronze award and is an Institute of Physics Project Juno Supporter;
these projects show a commitment to introduce organisational and
cultural practices that promote gender equality in science and create a
better working environment for men and women.
Applications (application form, CV, publication list and research
statement) should be submitted via the online application system by the
closing date. Applicants should also arrange for up to three reference
letters to be sent by email to [log in to unmask], to arrive by the same
date. Please contact [log in to unmask] with informal enquires.
