Contact: Secretariat of the Research Division |
The IAC (Tenerife) invites applications for ONE postdoctoral contract to work on topics within the ?Feeding, feedback and obscuration in active galaxies? (AYA2016-76682-C3-2-P) project, led by Dr. Cristina Ramos-Almeida.
| | ▸ more | Duties: The selected candidate is expected to actively participate in collaboration with Cristina Ramos Almeida (IAC) and Santiago García-Burillo (OAN-IGN) in the reduction and interpretation of data obtained with ALMA and, in the near future, with the JWST, of a sample of nearby active galaxies. The candidate will pursue research related to one or several of the following fields: The study of molecular line probes of activity in galaxies; dynamics of circumnuclear gas disks; fuelling and feedback of activity in nearby AGN; obscuration and unifying theories: structure and kinematics of molecular tori; excitation and chemistry of molecular gas in galaxies.
The candidate will be based at IAC and is expected to spend a few weeks per year at OAN-IGN (Madrid) in the framework of this collaboration.
Expertise in the following topics will be highly valued: Astrophysics; galaxy dynamics; mm radio astronomy; ALMA data reduction; mm/IR Interferometry; infrared observations; integral field spectroscopy
Position requirements: The candidates must have a solid track record of research and are expected to have a strong publication record in the fields of mm radio astronomy, formation and evolution of galaxies, and interferometry.
Qualification requirements: To be eligible for admission, applicants must have obtained a Ph.D. degree in Astrophysics or Physics, within the application deadline (March 31, 2017). A copy of the degree or corresponding stamped certificate (issued by the University where the degree was obtained), must be included. If the applicant has not completed the Ph.D. degree within the application deadline, he/she will not be considered.

The required documentation must be submitted using the online application system and received by the application deadline. The CV, publication list, statements of research interests and suitability for the position, copy of the Ph.D. degree, and copy the national identity or passport should be merged into a single PDF file.
Late applications or those that do not include the mandatory application form (Annex I), will not be considered. In case of incomplete applications, the applicant will have a period of five (5) days, starting from the day after publication of the provisional list of accepted and excluded candidates, to provide the missing documentation.
