| ERC postdoc (3-yr): Large-scale structure, AGN and/or clusters with radio data | Closing date: 2025-01-31
Contact: Francesco de Gasperin |
We are inviting applications for one postdoc in the framework of the Ultra Low Frequency Universe project funded by the ERC Consolidator Grant ULU. The duration of the contracts is 3 years and it will be based at the Institute of Radioastronomy (IRA INAF) in Bologna, Italy.
Main research topics include: the physics of galaxy clusters, AGN, ICM, and cosmic ray acceleration processes | | ▸ more | The successful candidate will have the chance to work with the LOFAR telescope and other SKA precursors and pathfinders to study the Universe at the lowest frequencies with emphasis on the physics of galaxy clusters, AGN, ICM, cosmic ray acceleration processes and the development of novel techniques for big data analysis.
The postdocs will be based at the Institute of Radio astronomy (IRA - INAF) in the city of Bologna (Italy) and they will be part of the quickly growing group of low-frequency radio astronomers at IRA (further info: https://www.ulu.radio). The candidates will have the chance to interface with the large astronomical community (>200 people) present in Bologna (including those working at IRA INAF, OAS INAF and UniBO department). The candidates will be part of the LOFAR collaboration and will have privileged access to data. The candidate will have access to state-of-the-art computing facilities and to large survey data from MeerKAT, LOFAR and other telescopes. Funding for computing and travel will be available and strong international collaborations are expected with the possibility of extended periods abroad. The position come with no teaching duties. A PhD in astronomy, physics, or equivalent is a requirement.
The application must include:
- CV
- Filled annex A and B (see website)
- A copy of the ID card
- Copy of phd certificate valid in Italy (or any master certificate with documented declaration to have at least 3 yrs of research experience, including the PhD period)
- Signed list of the attached material
Details about the positions, as well as instructions on the application procedure, deadlines, and requirements are available at this link: https://www.ulu.radio/positions
Interested candidates are encouraged to get in touch with the PI of the project for further information and questions on the application procedure (Francesco de Gasperin <fdg @ ira.inaf.it>).
