| Postdoctoral Research Associate in Galaxy Evolution | Closing date: 2024-02-21
Contact: Amelie Saintonge |
| Applications are invited for a postdoctoral research associate position in galaxy evolution at UCL in the research group of Prof. Amelie Saintonge, and in collaboration with Prof. Benjamin Joachimi. The aim of the project is to exploit data from the DESI and 4MOST-WAVES spectroscopic surveys to better understand the connection between galaxies and their dark matter halos. | | ▸ more | The focus of the work be on combining optical spectroscopic information with weak lensing measurements (using data from KiDS, DES, DeCALS and/or Euclid) to constrain the baryon-to-halo mass ratio, especially in the dwarf galaxy regime. There is scope within the project to focus on spectroscopic analysis and modelling, weak lensing measurements, and/or halo modelling, based on the skills and interests of the selected candidate.
The successful candidate will join the research groups of Profs. Saintonge and Joachimi and the DESI and 4MOST collaborations, with access to additional datasets (in particular DES, KiDS and Euclid). Located on the central London campus, the UCL Astrophysics Group is one of the largest in the UK, comprising of over 100 members of academic, research and support staff.
This position is funded for 2.5 years in the first instance, with a start date between 1 April and 1 October 2024.
Applications should be submitted through the UCL job application portal (http://tinyurl.com/4xscwjt8) by 21 February 2024. Candidates will need to upload a CV (including a list of publications), a statement of research interests and plans (3 pages maximum), and the contact information for three references.
