Job Advertisement: Unspecified Closing Date
Applications are invited for a postdoctoral research position working
with Ben Davies at the Astrophysics Research Institute, Liverpool John
Moores University. The aim of the project is to develop and exploit the
use of massive stars as probes of their host galaxy's abundances and
chemical evolution. This will be done using state-of-the-art model
atmospheres in conjunction with near-IR spectroscopy from the VLT and Keck.
Candidates should have a PhD in astronomy/astrophysics or a closely
related field. Experience with model atmospheres of cool stars, massive
stars, near-infrared spectroscopy, and automated spectral fitting is
especially desirable.
The position is guaranteed for a period of two years in the first
instance, with a possibility of extension subject to funding. The
expected start date will be from 1 April 2014 or as near as possible.
The salary will be in the range GBP 30,727 - GBP 36,661 per annum
