Postdoctoral Research Associate

The Role

This is a 50 percent FTE position for 2 years starting in the Autumn of 2022 to work on projects based on constrained realization dark matter and hydrodynamics simulations of the local universe. The post holder will work with Professor Carlos Frenk and other members of the ICC. The candidate will be expected to display the initiative and creativity, together with the appropriate skills and knowledge, required to take a lead in the research under the direction of the grant holder using cosmological hydrodynamical simulations of galaxy formation to gain understanding of the main processes of galaxy formation in the local universe and key observational signatures that can be used to distinguish between models.

This post is 50 percent FTE fixed term for 2 years from the start date.

Although the post is intended for research based on constrained realization simulations of the local universe, the post holder will be able to carry out independent research in his/her own right, ideally in areas related to the main topic of the project in coordination with the PI. The expectation is that they will contribute to the advancement of the project, through the development of their own research ideas/adaptation and development of research protocols.
