Ref. 10/101363
Applications are invited for the 3-year Michael West Research
Fellowship, located within the Astrophysics Research Centre (ARC) of the

fellow will make a significant contribution to the astronomy outreach
programme in the School. An appropriate research support package will be
provided.

Applicants must have the following:
* A PhD in a relevant subject either awarded or at least submitted at
the time of taking up the post.
* Experience of relevant research in astrophysics in an area that will
complement and enhance the key research areas within ARC.
* High quality refereed publications commensurate with applicant's
career stage.
* Experience in Public Understanding of Science activities, for example
through lectures, written articles, hands-on projects or other forms of
engagement.
