Galaxy evolution with JWST and Euclid
Job Summary
Job Description
We invite applications for a postdoctoral position in observational studies of galaxy formation and evolution with JWST and/or Euclid. The successful candidate will work with Dr. Marcin Sawicki’s research group and will have opportunities to participate in our team’s projects as well as for independent research.
Our team’s current research focuses around two related projects that probe galaxy evolution across cosmic time and in a range of environments: (1) very deep imaging and spectroscopic JWST Guaranteed Time Observations of galaxies in and behind five gravitationally lensing cluster fields; and (2) upcoming multi-wavelength evolution studies of very large samples of galaxies in a 10 square degree region of Euclid Deep Field North. For more information on our research please visit https://www.ap.smu.ca/~sawicki
To support their research, the fellow will have access to high-performance computing platforms, opportunities to apply for Canadian observing time on JWST, ALMA, Gemini, and CFHT, and access to funds for travel and publication costs. The appointment is expected to be for 3 years and to start in September 2024.
Review of applications will start on 15 January 2024. Application materials should be emailed to [email protected] and should consist of a CV, a research statement, and a cover letter, all in pdf format. Applicants should also arrange for three referees to send reference letters directly to the same address.
We appreciate and welcome diversity, and hire on the basis of research excellence and future potential. We are committed to creating an inclusive environment for all group members and encourage applications from all qualified researchers, including - but not limited to - women, visible minorities, Indigenous people, and people with disabilities. Delays in research due to - for example - illness or family responsibilities will be taken into consideration and applicants who have experienced such delays are encouraged to indicate their impact in their cover letters.
