Postdoc at CSIC Institute of Space Sciences
Applications are invited for a postdoctoral position to join the
Observational Cosmology and Extragalactic astrophysics group at the
CSIC Institute of Space Sciences (ICE; https://www.ice.csic.es),
located at the Universitat Autonoma de Barcelona campus in Bellaterra.
We welcome candidates with interests in supernova physics and/or
cosmology to work with Dr. Lluis Galbany.
Our group is currently involved in some of the most exciting
extra-galactic surveys ongoing or planned for the near future [the
Dark Energy Survey (DES), the Physics of the Accelerating Universe
(PAU), the ESA Euclid mission, the Dark Energy Science Collaboration
(DESC) in the LSST, and the Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument
(DESI)], as well as involved in large supernova collaborations [the
Carnegie Supernova Project (CSP), the Public ESO Spectroscopic Survey
for Transient Objects (PESSTO), the Global Supernova Project (GSP)].
In these collaborations we have taken lead roles, not only at the
scientific level but also in data management, infrastructure, and
instrumentation.
We are seeking candidates with interest and relevant experience to
contribute and benefit from these projects. The candidate will also be
encouraged to pursue her/his own research interests. In addition to
work in the group, the successful applicant will become part of a
vibrant research community and will be able to enjoy interaction with
the many other researchers at ICE in the field of transient research,
as well as with other groups at the department (planets, solar and
stellar astrophysics, galaxies, cosmology). Opportunities for Master
student supervision are likely available.
Candidates must have completed a Ph.D. in Physics/Astronomy or related
fields by the starting date, which should not be earlier than
September 2021 and, ideally, demonstrated experience in observational
astronomy and/or cosmology. The appointment is initially for 2 years,
plus a third year awarded upon satisfactory progress.
Applicants must submit an e-mail to the attention of Dr. Lluiss
Galbany (lluisgalbany_at_gmail_dot_com) with the subject line "Postdoc
position - Candidate name" and a cover letter (max. 2 pages) stating
the motivation for this specific job and suitable background, a
curriculum vitae, a summary of previous and current research (limited
to 2 pages), a research proposal (limited to 1 page), and a list of
three researchers familiar with the candidate's work who would be
willing to write reference letters supporting the application upon
request. A complete application must be received by December 15, 2020
for full consideration.
We are committed to increasing the number of underrepresented groups
in our workforce and therefore we encourage applications from such
qualified individuals. All qualified applicants will receive
consideration for employment without regard to race, religion, color,
national origin, gender identity, sexual orientation or age.
Remuneration: The gross annual salary will be 37000 EUR, with
deductions of up to 20% for income tax (IRPF) and public health
insurance dependent on the candidate's personal situation (with
coverage included for spouse, de facto partner and children).
