The School of Mathematics, Statistics and Physics (MSP) at Newcastle University is seeking to recruit a Research Assistant/Associate in Cosmology to join an exciting STFC-funded research program managed by Dr Cora Uhlemann.
The project aims at harnessing the power of the large-scale structure as a laboratory for fundamental physics. You will work on non-Gaussian clustering statistics beyond 2-point correlations to unlock additional information from galaxy clustering and weak lensing in galaxy surveys like Euclid.
You will build on your experience in modelling nonlinear effects for galaxy clustering or weak lensing and/or the analysis of galaxy survey data. You will perform theoretical modelling and data analysis and disseminate your work through publications and scientific talks. You will become a member of a local research group with international collaborators, the growing cosmology and astronomy groups at Newcastle University and the Euclid consortium.
We embrace equality and particularly welcome applications from community members that are under-represented in physics. If you have demonstrable experience in showing a commitment to equality, diversity and inclusion then please outline this in your application.
The position is offered on a fixed term basis for three years from start date, or tenable until the project end date, whichever is soonest. We would be happy to discuss arrangements for flexible and/or blended working. Generous funds are available for travel, training and other support. Start dates and flexible working are negotiable.
Please complete the online application via our recruitment system and attach a CV, a covering letter and a research statement, outlining your skillset as related to the research project.
