Post reference: ZZ003447
We announce our fifth Dennis Sciama Postdoctoral Research Fellowship
competition at the Institute of Cosmology and Gravitation (ICG) at the
University of Portsmouth aimed at promising early-career researchers in
cosmology. The successful candidate will have demonstrated excellence in
research, complementing and extending the existing ICG research interests
and expertise. Over the course of the fellowship, they will be expected to
develop their own programme of research and innovation, and help attract
external funding to the ICG.
The ICG consists of 12 academic staff, 19 postdoctoral researchers and over
20 PhD students, and has an active international visitors programme.
Portsmouth is a member of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS-IV) and Dark
Energy Survey, and recently the Large Synpotic Survey Telescope (LSST) with
involvement in the Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument (DESI) and other
major international collaborations, including LIGO, ESA's Euclid satellite
mission and the Square Kilometre Array (SKA). The University of Portsmouth
is a member of the South-East Physics Network (SEPnet) and hosts the
3704-core SCIAMA supercomputer. More information is available at
http://www.icg.port.ac.uk/
We welcome applications from all qualified applicants, but applications are
particularly encouraged from traditionally under-represented groups in
science. The University of Portsmouth and the ICG hold Athena SWAN bronze
awards which show a commitment to introduce organisational and cultural
practices that promote diversity and equality and create a better working
environment for women and men.

for the fellowship) should be submitted via the online application system
