You will have a PhD in Astronomy or a closely related discipline and experience in the reduction or interpretation of astronomical data between far-infrared to radio-wavelengths.
In addition to carrying out a research project determined in discussion with Prof Thompson, you will be an excellent communicator, responsible for day-to-day interactions with undergraduate and postgraduate students, and taking an active part in next generation single-dish or interferometric surveys.
