Job Advertisement: Closing Date 31st October 2014
The School of Mathematics and Physics at Queen's University Belfast
seeks to make two permanent appointments at lecturer level in the
Astrophysics Research Centre. We are seeking high calibre candidates
with outstanding research records who have the potential to build their
own research groups and establish exceptional research programmes.
Successful candidates will be provided with a generous startup package
and guaranteed PhD studentships to launch their research team.
The lecturers will be expected to contribute to the research and
teaching activities of the School, and to sustain their research team
through external funding.
The research interests of the successful candidates must complement and
strengthen existing research within the Astrophysics Research Centre.
Main areas of scientific interest include supernovae and transients,
extrasolar planets and the chemistry of protoplanetary disks, solar
physics and solar system physics. Wide-field astronomy and time-domain
astrophysics underpin our research interests and future research
strategy. We anticipate strengthening these areas with the two
appointments, and envisage at least one of the positions will be in the
area of extrasolar planets. Candidates working in either theoretical or
observational aspects of these areas are encouraged to apply.
The start-up package includes GBP 10,000 funding, PhD studentships, and
access to ARC's substantial project investment portfolio. Starting
Salary is on AC2/3 scale: GBP 34,233 - GBP 50,200 per annum.
