Galaxy Formation Researcher Position
The Cosmic Dawn Center is inviting applications for a researcher position in galaxy formation and early evolution. We are seeking an expert in this field to contribute to our research program on galaxy formation and early galaxy evolution, with a particular focus on the Cosmic Dawn Survey.
This survey targets 50 deg^2 of the sky with Euclid near-infrared observations, complemented by matching-depth optical imaging from Subaru and CFHT and spectroscopy from Keck. The successful candidate will work with large imaging and spectroscopic datasets from Euclid and associated facilities, including the extraction of photometry and morphology for large numbers of galaxies, redshift and physical-parameter estimation, catalog building, and statistical analysis of galaxy populations.
The duties of the position include proposal writing, planning and execution of observations, data reduction, and the scientific exploitation and dissemination of results from the Cosmic Dawn Survey. The researcher's duties will primarily include research, including obligations with regard to publication/scientific communication and research-based teaching with associated examination obligations within astronomy.
To apply, please submit your CV, research plan, and relevant publications. Assessment of applicants will consider their level of documented, internationally competitive research, as well as their ability to attract external funding and outreach qualifications.
Key Qualifications:
* PhD degree in Astronomy or related field
