Postdoc on "Modelling and analysis of the star-forming ISM in DustPedia galaxies" | Closing date: 2020-12-21 Contact: Simone Bianchi |
A postdoc position (1 year, renewable) is offered at INAF-Arcetri Astrophysical Observatory in Florence, Italy. The postdoc will work on the DustPedia database, an archive of UV-to-submm multiwavelength photometry, imagery and ancillary data for 875 local galaxies observed by the Heschel Space Observatory. | ▸ more | The awarded fellow is expected to carry out research on any of the following lines:
- Analysis of the resolved properties of local galaxies in order to characterize the ISM (dust, gas, metals) and stellar evolution in different environments.
- Incrementing the DustPedia database with resolved observations of atomic and molecular gas, as well as metal abundances, using literature data, new observing projects, and exploiting available archives such as the ALMA Science Archive.
- Understanding what regulates the process of star formation in the ISM by linking the intrinsic and environmental properties of local galaxies to their star formation rate.
- Use of SED fitting tools and radiative transfer models to assess the impact of local variations of dust properties in the estimate of global and resolved galactic properties.
- Development of autonomous research lines using the DustPedia database.
The position is based at INAF-Osservatorio Astrofisico di Arcetri, in Florence, Italy.
Duration: 1 (+ 1) year.
Deadline: December 21, 2020.
Start: February 2021.
The full call is available here (in English).
