Detail information about job Research Fellow (80750-087). Terms and conditions vacancy

Fixed term for 2 years

The Astronomy & Astrophysics group at the University of Warwick is seeking one ambitious post-doctoral researcher to work within the project “Evolution of white dwarfs with 3D model atmospheres”. The position is funded by an ERC Starting Grant held by Dr. Pier-Emmanuel Tremblay, and the candidate will join an existing team of PhD candidates and post-doctoral researchers. The proposed project will be centred on the exploitation of the Gaia Data Release 2 colours and trigonometric parallaxes for white dwarfs. The post-doctoral researcher is expected to investigate questions ranging from the star formation history in the Milky Way, the composition of the interior of white dwarfs, and the nature of magnetic degenerates.

Candidates must hold, or be about to obtain, a Ph.D. degree in astrophysics. Experience in Galactic astronomy, analyses of large surveys, stellar evolution, or model atmospheres, will be a strong advantage.

If you have not yet been awarded your PhD but are near submission or have recently submitted your PhD, any offers of employment will be made as Research Assistant on level 5 of the University grade structure (£28,453). Upon successful award of your PhD and evidence of this fact, you will be promoted to Research Fellow on the first point of level 6 of the University grade structure (£29,301).

The position is available from 1 January 2018, for a period of two years.

An application form MUST be completed if you wish to be considered for this post. Applicants should also submit a signed covering letter with a concise description of their research accomplishments & interests and relevant technical experience, as well as a CV including a full publication list.

Informal enquiries about this post can be made to Dr. Pier-Emmanuel Tremblay ([email protected])
