We invite applications for a postdoctoral researcher position to work with Asst. Prof. Gina Panopoulou on interstellar medium science with applications for Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) studies. The position is part of the Polarized Galactic Emission Modelling at Small Scales (P-GEMSS), a new research program funded by the Swedish Research Council. The aim of the program is to improve the analysis of the polarization of the CMB by creating high-fidelity models of the Galactic foreground emission. The focus is to obtain a new description of the statistics of polarized dust and synchrotron emission on sub-degree angular scales.
The successful candidate will work with existing surveys of the radio sky at GHz frequencies in total intensity and polarization to create all-sky models of the polarized synchrotron emission at CMB frequencies. They will develop Bayesian inference algorithms, use morphological measures of diffuse emission and quantify spatial statistics of Galactic emission. Previous experience in Bayesian statistics, CMB foreground modelling, radio astronomy, polarization or ISM science is a plus.
The Astronomy and plasma physics (AoP) division at Chalmers hosts about 45 staff members involved in research activities such as active galactic nucleii, evolved stars, exoplanets, galaxy evolution, interstellar medium, star formation, as well as fusion plasma physics. The division also collaborates with the Onsala Space Observatory that hosts the Nordic ALMA Regional Center node, and is the SKA center for Sweden.
A competitive salary and benefits package is offered at Chalmers. Employees are eligible for social security benefits, including health insurance, paid leave, and retirement benefits. The position also includes travel funds and opportunities for dissemination, networking, and international collaborations. The position is for three years with possibility of extension up to 4 years. To qualify, you must have a Ph.D. in a relevant field by the start date of the position. More information about Chalmers and the position can be found at the Chalmers web portal. For inquiries please contact G. Panopoulou at [email protected] .
