2. Cosmology from Home 2020 (24 August 2020 – 04 September 2020, Virtual)

Deadline: abstract submission will close on 22 July 2020.

The first annual Cosmology from Home conference will be held from 24 August – 04 September 2020.

Cosmology from Home is an online cosmology conference with a novel format aimed at bringing the real-world workshop experience into the virtual domain. The format includes the use of pre-recorded talks, and a combination of asynchronous and scheduled live discussions. A freely-navigated virtual office space also facilitates ongoing, organic discussions. The conference will bring together cosmologists from around the world to discuss the current state of cosmology at the interface of theory and observations.

Registration is now open: https://www.cosmologyfromhome.com/registration
(Note: there will be a limited number of participants.)

3. Senior postdoc position in radio-astronomy (Univ. Bielefeld, Germany)
Deadline: July 15th, 2020

We are looking for an experienced radio astronomer in the context of MeerKAT and the SKA. We expect that the candidate will take a coordinating role among the partners of the German D-MeerKAT consortium that contributes to MeerKAT and SKA pathfinder science. The specific task of this position will be the investigation of the diffuse (polarized) radio emission of the Milky Way. The successful candidate will take a leading role in an all-sky S-band survey, the data evaluation and the data modelling with the SKA-MPG telescope. This investigation will serve a better understanding of the (polarized) foreground components of the cosmic microwave background and HI intensity mapping. The possibility to carry out independent research projects in parallel is provided. She*He will also support the management (coordinator Prof. Dr. Dominik Schwarz) of the German D-MeerKAT consortium and contribute with her*his expertise to establishing a regional science data centre for radio astronomy. We also expect the candidate to contribute to the supervision of Bachelor- and Master-students and to co- supervise PhD-students.
The successful applicant will be given the opportunity to obtain the venia legendi.

We expect

  • an academic degree (e. g. Master or Diplom) in Physics, Astronomy or equivalent
  • completed relevant PhD
  • research experience in radio astronomy (documented by scientific publications, conference contributions and references)
  • essential skills in project management, reporting
  • experience in programming
  • fluent in written and spoken English
  • independent, self-reliant and dedicated style of work
  • strong organizational and coordination skills
  • ability to cooperate and to work in a team

Preferable qualifications

  • experience in the research area of diffuse galactic radiation at radio frequencies
  • experience with radio astronomical instrumentation and development
  • software skills in radio astronomy specific software (CASA, AIPS etc.)
  • demonstrated leadership potential in research

Application Procedure
