Post by Bruce Bassett » February 15 2005

3 COSMOLOGY POSTDOCS AT PORTSMOUTH

The Institute of Cosmology & Gravitation at the University of Portsmouth will shortly be advertising for three 3-year postdoctoral positions in cosmology, funded by the UK Particle Physics & Astronomy Research Council.

The positions are in the following areas:

* Dark Energy - new approaches to constrain dark energy

* Galaxy Evolution - new studies based on SDSS data (joint project with the University of Sussex)

* Cosmological Perturbations - linking the early universe to observations

The ICG has recently joined the Sloan Digital Sky Survey, is a partner in the UK National Supercomputer Consortium COSMOS, and is a member of the GWFMOS/KAOS feasibility study. The postdocs will have full access to all of these resources, as well as to the 2 SGI multi-processor machines at the ICG.

Staff at the ICG include: Bruce Bassett, Marco Bruni, Rob Crittenden, Roy
Maartens, Bob Nichol and David Wands. An Academic Fellow in cosmology will be appointed in 2005, and there will be a total of 4 other postdoctoral research fellows and 2 other postdocs.

The start date will be on or before 1 October 2005. Details of the application procedure, and the advert, will appear on our webpage, www.icg.port.ac.uk.
