Associate Professorship in Extragalactic Astrophysics at the University of Oslo | Closing date: 2018-01-01 Contact: Per B. Lilje |
The Institute of Theoretical Astrophysics at the University of Oslo invites applications for an Associate Professorship in extragalactic astrophysics. | ▸ more | The research activity of the Institute has recently been broadened by starting a research group in extragalactic astrophysics. We wish to strengthen this group by opening a new permanent associate professorship.
The position is affiliated with the extragalactic astrophysics research group within the Section for cosmology and extragalactic astrophysics. This group was started in 2013 and is led by associate professor Sijing Shen. It has presently a senior research fellow, a postdoctoral research fellow and three Ph.D. students in addition to Dr. Shen. Present activity includes theoretical and computational studies of formation and evolution of galaxies and the reionization of the intergalactic medium. The group interacts strongly with the cosmology group and also with the solar physics group, which has an internationally leading competence in radiative transfer and radiative hydrodynamics. The group utilizes strongly local, national and international High Performance Computing facilities, and also participates in science with ESA's Euclid mission. It is a high priority for the Institute to strengthen this group, and it will have priority to resources, postdoctoral research fellows and Ph.D. students.
The position is meant to strengthen and/or broaden the new extragalactic astrophysics group. Candidates who can cooperate closely with and complement the present activities of the group are desired. This can be either through theoretical or modelling research, or also through observational research. Ability and preference for working in teams are highly valued qualities. Applicants are required to outline one or several research projects and show how these are expected to strengthen the scientific activities in the extragalactic astrophysics group and interact with the group leader's research activities.
