Applications are invited for a Postdoctoral Research Fellow at the University of Sussex in the field of theoretical cosmology. Faculty members Mark Hindmarsh, Antony Lewis, Andrew Liddle and David Seery lead our research in this area. We are seeking a talented and creative cosmologist with demonstrated outstanding intellectual contributions to research at doctoral or post-doctoral level, to contribute to our research programme. Particular research areas of interest include physics of the early Universe, cosmological inflation, constraining cosmological models with data including cosmic microwave background anisotropies, and the nature of dark energy. The candidate will also be expected to assist in the teaching and supervision of students in the group, and there may be opportunities for broader interaction within the Astronomy Centre and Theoretical Particle Physics group.
