Applications are invited for a postdoctoral position to engage in research in the rapidly developing area of cosmological intensity mapping. The research is expected to span archival analysis, interpretation, forecasting, and software development for the broader community. The successful candidate will conduct research in close association with Dr. Eric Switzer and be co-located with him at the nearby NASA Goddard Space Flight Center. The successful candidate will join a vibrant community of cosmologists and astrophysicists in the JHU Department of Physics and Astronomy, which is closely associated with the Goddard Space Flight Center and at the Space Telescope Science Institute.
Apply by December 1, 2017 for primary consideration. Later applications will be considered only as long as an opening exists. Applications should be submitted at https://academicjobsonline.org/ajo/jobs/10245 and consist of a curriculum vitae, publication list, and a brief description (<5 pages) of past research and future plans. Applicants should also arrange to have three letters of reference submitted through https://academicjobsonline.org/ajo/jobs/10245. Applicants should have a PhD before the anticipated start date. (Start dates in spring/summer 2018 are preferred). Appointments are for one year, renewable annually based on satisfactory performance and available funding. JHU is an affirmative action/equal opportunity employer, and welcomes applications from women and members of underrepresented groups. Access to NASA is required so applications from citizens of "designated countries" will not be considered (see https://oiir.hq.nasa.gov/nasaecp/docs/DCList_02-15-2017.pdf).
Submit any questions by email to [email protected]. Applications will only be considered complete when all materials described above are received. Review of complete applications will begin on December 1, 2017. If not filled, application review will continue until the search is closed.
