Full Job Description
The candidates will lead research projects related to Type Ia Supernova cosmology, with a focus on data from Rubin, 4MOST and Euclid data. Candidates will lead research projects in Type Ia supernova cosmology, with a particular emphasis on data from Rubin Observatory, 4MOST, ATLAS, Euclid.
Projects may span a broad range of topics, including improving supernova modelling and standardization, developing and implementing novel data analysis and statistical methods for Type Ia supernova cosmology, and contributing to data acquisition and spectroscopic follow-up of upcoming large transient surveys (e.g. Rubin/ATLAS) using 4MOST and other spectroscopic facilities.
The candidates will benefit from the vibrant Astrophysics community at Oxford, which hosts both the Hintze Centre for Astrophysical Surveys and the Beecroft Institute for Particle Astrophysics and Cosmology. The candidates have the opportunity to assist with the supervision of graduate students and outreach activities.
