Postdoctoral Research Associate at the Institute for Astronomy (4587)

Postdoctoral Research Associate Vacancy Ref: : 042021 Closing Date : 15-Jan-2018 Contact Person : Contact Number : Contact Email : Applications are invited for a Postdoctoral Research Associate at the Institute for Astronomy (IfA), Royal Observatory Edinburgh. The position is part of an initiative in the formation of galaxies during the Epoch of Reionization (EoR) and their impact on the Circumgalactic Medium, led by Profs Avery Meiksin and Sadegh Khochfar. We aim to use multiple simulation techniques to address key questions in galaxy formation, concentrating on observed signatures of circumgalactic gas during the Epoch of Reionization, with a particular goal of understanding the origin of metal absorption lines. We also expect the simulations to provide mock datasets for major new surveys, investigating how such data may be used to disentangle the roles of stellar feedback, black holes, and the metagalactic photoionizing background during the EoR on circumgalactic gas properties. We are seeking applicants with a strong background in cosmological simulations, theoretical astrophysics, the manipulation of large datasets, and studies of the Intergalactic Medium (IGM). Expertise in hydrodynamic simulations and/or the analysis of quasar absorption line spectra in the context of the IGM would be a particular advantage. Successful candidates would have access to computational resources, including Archer - the UK National Supercomputer. The contract will be for an initial period of two years, with the possibility of extension. The start date is nominally September 2018, but with flexibility; the completion of a PhD is required by the start date. The position is open to applicants of all nationalities; applications from minorities are strongly encouraged. Applicants should supply a CV, bibliography, the names of two referees, plus a research proposal of up to three pages, all contained within a single pdf file. Informal enquiries may be made to Prof Avery Meiksin (meiksin@ed.ac.uk). Letters of recommendation from two referees should be sent directly by email to Prof Meiksin by the closing date.

To do so, the University of Edinburgh requires to see original documents evidencing right to work in the UK before commencement of employment and this is normally carried out at interview. Details will be provided in any letter of invitation to interview. For further information on eligibility to work please visit our eligibility to work website If you are not currently eligible to work in the UK, the University has the authority to issue a Certificate of Sponsorship (CoS) to successful candidates who meet the eligibility criteria. The CoS enables candidates to apply for a Tier 2 (general visa) in accordance with current UK Visas and Immigration rules. For applicants interested in sponsorship information is available on our Working in the UK website However, if you have previously been sponsored by an employer within the UK but your leave has expired or lapsed and you are no longer in the UK, according to Home Office Visa Immigration rules you cannot apply for sponsorship under any category of Tier 2 for a period of 12 months after the date your visa expired and/or you left the UK.
