Post-doctoral Research Fellow - Chemodynamical Evolution of the Milky Way | Closing date: 2024-02-02 Contact: Prof. Chiaki Kobayashi |
Applications are invited for a 36-month postdoctoral position at the Centre for Astrophysics Research (CAR) at the University of Hertfordshire, to lead and publish original scientific investigations in the area of theoretical or observational astrophysics of stars and galaxies. A focus will be to use chemical abundances of stars, in order to understand the origin of elements and the evolution of galaxies. | ▸ more | The successful applicant will use theoretical, chemodynamical simulations of Milky Way-type galaxies to interpret the Galactic archaeology observations. You will work with Professor Chiaki Kobayashi and her group, who have been running cosmological and zoom-in simulations of galaxies incorporating her nucleosynthesis yields.
The post ? one of 8 new STFC-funded postdoctoral positions awarded to CAR as a result of the STFC Astronomy Grants scheme (2023) ? is available from 01 April 2024 and the successful candidate will ideally be in post as soon as possible, and no later than 01 October 2024. Candidates should have (or submitted for) a PhD in astronomy/astrophysics before taking up the post.
For further details please see our recruitment website (https://www.jobs.herts.ac.uk/go/056016), where you will also need to submit your application by * 02 February 2024 * including a CV, a list of publications, a summary of previous research and current interests (not exceeding two sides of A4 paper), and the contact details of two referees willing to write on your behalf.
