The Institute of Cosmology & Gravitation of the University
of Portsmouth (UK). http://www.icg.port.ac.uk/ |
The Institute of Cosmology & Gravitation
(ICG) intends to appoint a postdoctoral
researcher in theoretical cosmology funded by a PPARC rolling
grant. A PhD degree and relevant research experience are required.
The post is for three years, starting 1 October 2007. The researcher
will work on a project to investigate cosmological models of inflation
and dark energy in braneworlds, developing cosmological tests
of the models.
The
ICG consists of 10 academic staff, 12 postdoctoral researchers
and 18 PhD students, and is a member of the Sloan Digital Sky
Survey, the Dark Energy Survey and the UK National Cosmology Supercomputer
Consortium (COSMOS). The researcher will have full access to these
resources, as well as multi-processor machines at the ICG. Applications
(application form, CV, research statement, names of 3 referees)
should be sent by email to jobs@port.ac.uk (copied to chris.jones@port.ac.uk),
and should be received by 16 MARCH 2007. Late applications may
be considered until the post has been filled. Applicants should
arrange for three letters of reference to be sent by email to
chris.jones@port.ac.uk, to arrive by the closing date. |

The
University of Wisconsin-Madison particle astrophysics group has
two open Postdoc positions in the area of data analysis for IceCube.
IceCube consists now of 22 strings and 26 surface detector stations,
which provide a wealth of new data and physics opportunities.
The construction will approach 40 strings by January 2008. While
data analysis is the primary interest, involvement in optical-sensor
testing and R&D for the development of new detectors, such
as radio sensors for highest energy neutrinos is possible. One
position will have a particular emphasis on and responsibility
for IceCube detector simulation software. |

Postdoctoral positions at Argonne National Lab. |
Three postdoctoral opportunities at Argonne National Laboratory, to work on Dark Energy Survey (DES). The first one is an immediate DES opening funded by lab R&D funds and the High Energy Physics division, described at the following URL: http://www.anl.gov/jobsearch/detail.jsp?userreqid=311515+HEP. The second one is a relatively new program at Argonne called Director Postdoctoral Fellowships, described at the following URL:http://www.dep.anl.gov/postdocs/directorpostdoc.htm. These are selected four times a year. The next application deadline is June 4th, with a likely starting date in late summer or early fall. This program needs a recommendation from an Argonne sponsor, therefore the applicant should contact first by email at Kuhlmann@anl.gov. The
third postdoctoral position at Argonne is the most prestigious,
the Argonne Named Postdoctoral Fellowship, described at the |

Postdoctoral researcher in observational cosmology funded by PPARC.
|
The
Institute of Cosmology & Gravitation (ICG) at the University
of Portsmouth intends to appoint a postdoctoral researcher in
observational cosmology funded by PPARC. A PhD degree and relevant
cosmological research experience is required.
The post is for three years, starting 1 October 2007. The researcher will work on thecollection and analysis of data for the Sloan Digital Sky Survey Supernova Survey. This will include helping with spectral observations of supernova (SN) candidates, investigation of SN diversity, correlations with host galaxy properties and obtaining cosmological constraints from SN samples. In addition, the researcher will be involved in the design and preparation of future supernova surveys with the Dark Energy Survey. The ICG consists of 10 academic staff, 13 postdoctoral researchers and 18 PhD students, and is a member of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey, the Dark Energy Survey and the UK National Cosmology Supercomputer Consortium (COSMOS). The researcher will have full access to these resources, as well as multi-processor machines at the ICG. An
online application form is available at http://www.port.ac.uk/vacancies/downloads/applicationform.doc
or via email (jobs@port.ac.uk), quoting the post reference number
RTEC0169. Informal enquires welcome to Bob Nichol (bob.nichol@port.ac.uk) |

Observational
Cosmology Post-doc based at Cape Town University |
As
part of a major investment strategy by the South African government
in multi-wavelength astronomy that includes SALT (http://www.salt.ac.za),HESS
and KAT/MeerKAT (http://www.ska.ac.za) a joint UCT-KAT post-doctoral
position has become available based in the cosmology group at the
University of Cape Town.
All areas of observational/data-driven cosmology and radio astronomy will be considered but preference will be given to candidates who can contribute to/ exploit South African large facilities (SALT/MeerKAT/CHPC) with expertise in one or more of the following areas: * large radio astronomy surveys in the post-2010
The successful candidate will be part of the observational cosmology group at the University of Cape Town lead by Bruce Bassett. The group has strong links with the SAAO and the observational cosmology group at UKZN (http://www.acru.ukzn.ac.za/) who are part of the ACT survey. Members of the UCT observational cosmology group form part of the WFMOS team A and the SDSS supernova survey and are active in designing cosmology surveys for SALT. The successful candidate will help train and supervise
students in the group and contribute to team-building as well
as disseminating their research at national and international
conferences. In addition they will be expected to interact with
the KAT/MeerKAT team on relevant issues. This position is generously funded, coming with
a salary of about R240,000 (tax-free) which affords a very confortable
standard of living and is approximately equivalent to a senior
lecturer salary in Cape Town after tax. Note however that this
does not include benefits (pension, health insurance etc..). In
addition there is a 2-year travel and equipment budget at the
disposal of the Interested candidates are encouraged to contact
Bruce Bassett (bruce@saao.ac.za) for more information. Applications will be considered until the post is filled. Consideration of applications will begin on 1 August 2007. The start date is flexible but would be as soon as possible after 1 November 2007. |

| University
of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign |
The University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign
has a postdoctoralopening on the Dark Energy Survey (DES). DES
science goals include the study the properties of dark matter
and dark energy, achieved by performing a sky survey that measures
the history of cosmological structure formation and of the Hubble
parameter.
To this end we will upgrade the 4 m Blanco telescope in Chile by building a new 500 megapixel camera. We plan to take data in 2010. This website has more information: https://www.darkenergysurvey.org/the-project . Illinois
is in charge of (among other things) the data acquisition infrastructure
and mountaintop software integration, and we are looking for a
post-doc candidate who has experience with data acquisition software
(hardware experience is secondary). The project We
do not require that candidates have prior astrophysics experience.
However, the position will also involve science analysis, so interest
in that aspect of the project is also necessary. For
more information, please contact: The University of Illinois is an equal opportunity/affirmative action employer. |
