The MPIfR is recruiting postdoctoral researchers to join the new scientific department of Prof. Amélie Saintonge. The focus of the group is the physics of star formation and galaxy evolution, in particular through (sub)mm/radio observations to connect the baryon cycle, the physics and chemistry of the interstellar medium, and the drivers of star formation across all environments and scales.
We are looking for researchers with scientific interests and skills matching these aims. We particularly invite applications from candidates with experience in the study of the ISM of dwarf galaxies, ISM modeling, the halo/CGM/ISM connection, and the environmental dependence of star formation, but other relevant research areas will be considered.
The successful candidates will be expected to conduct a dynamic research programme targeting these core scientific objectives. In addition to this core research, the selected candidates will be expected to take part in the project-based efforts of the department, with possibilities including:
- Software development to assist in the science exploitation of the new APEX A-MKID camera
- Building the science case and technical requirements for ALMA focal plane arrays, as part of an ESO-funded development study.
- Engagement with the AtLAST telescope design study, in particular through prototyping of technologies on APEX.
- Development work for future large scale HI surveys with MeerKAT, SKA, and/or DSA-2000.
The balance between the research and project components of the role are to be discussed with the successful applicants on a case-by-case basis.
Qualified individuals are encouraged to apply by submitting a short cover letter, their CV (including list of publications), and a statement (max. 3 pages) describing their past and future research plans in connection with the overall objectives of the department and at least one of the project-specific areas listed above. Applicants should also provide the names and contact details of three people who may be contacted to provide reference letters. Applications should be submitted through the MPIfR application portal by May 1, 2024
