The Institute of Cosmology and Gravitation intends to appoint an STFC funded Postdoctoral Researcher with expertise in integral field unit (IFU) spectroscopy to support its research in the Faculty of Technology at the University of Portsmouth.
The successful applicant will work on the project Mapping Nearby Galaxies at APO (MaNGA), which is part of the fourth generation Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS-IV) being conducted on the Sloan 2.5m Telescope. MaNGA is an optical fiber-based multi-object IFU that is targeting 10,000 galaxies over a 6 year campaign that has started in 2014. MaNGA allows spatially resolved studies of stellar populations, gas physics and kinematics in galaxies in the multi-parameter space of galaxy properties, local environment, and halo mass for the very first time. The successful candidate will participate in the scientific analysis of MaNGA data with Dr Daniel Thomas and Prof Claudia Maraston within the SDSS-IV collaboration. A PhD in astronomy or physics is required. Expertise in galaxy evolution studies is essential, and experience with IFU observations and analysis will be considered an advantage.
18 January 2016
Interview dates: Interviews will be scheduled between 25 and 29 January 2016.
