Job Announcement Text:
UCL invites applications for a Lectureship in Theoretical and/or Observational Studies of the High Redshift Universe. The high redshift universe, corresponding to the first few billion years of cosmic history, is coming into sharp focus with new observational facilities such as JWST, Simons Observatory, Euclid, DESI, PFS, Rubin-LSST and, within a decade, ELT, SKA, CMB-S4, Litebird, LISA. Taken together, these will give unprecedented insight into the build-up of large scale structure, galaxies, stars and black hole populations across cosmic time, in turn shedding light on the nature of dark matter, dark energy and neutrinos.
The new Lecturer will be part of the Astrophysics Group. The Astrophysics Group is one of the largest in the UK, comprising about 130 members of academic, research and support staff, of which 24 are academic staff members. Our research areas cover cosmology, gravitational waves, galaxy formation and evolution, massive stars, star formation and stellar evolution, interstellar and circumstellar processes, (exo-)planetary science, atmospheric physics and instrumentation. UCL was the first university in England to welcome students of any class, religion, and the first to welcome women on equal terms with men. Scientific research and study has been a strong feature of UCL since its inception in 1826.
The successful candidate will have a PhD in Physics or Astrophysics (or a closely related discipline) and a high profile in a contemporary research area of high redshift astrophysics. The successful candidate will be required to carry out world-leading research in terms of originality, significance and rigour; play a leading role in furthering diversity and inclusive culture within the Department and the research community, and engage in external activities that bring national and international esteem to the group and UCL.
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. A cover letter can be included using the “Statement in Support of your Application” section of the online form.
Salary Min:
