Postdoctoral position in extragalactic radio astronomy

We invite applications for a postdoctoral position of two years duration at Universidad Complutense de Madrid (Spain) to work with Dr. Shane P. O'Sullivan on extragalactic radio surveys related to cosmic magnetism science.

The postdoctoral researcher will work with data from ongoing radio polarization surveys, such as the LOFAR Two-Metre Sky Survey and the ASKAP-POSSUM survey, to constrain the properties of cosmic magnetic fields across a wide range of physical scales and use the results to test models for their origin. They will also be involved in the preparation for future projects with the Square Kilometre Array (SKA) telescope, which Spain is a full member of.

The successful candidate will become part of the Extragalactic Astrophysics and Astronomical Instrumentation group of UCM (GUAIX), as well as the Institute of Particle Physics and the Cosmos (IPARCOS). See https://guaix.ucm.es/home/science/cosmic-magnetic-fields for more details.

Applicants should have a PhD in Astrophysics and experience in radio astronomy.

Applications are especially encouraged from people from underrepresented groups.
