Research Associate for the Project “Formation and Evolution of Supermassive Black Holes” - 28 Subsection 3 HmbHG
- InstitutionFaculty of Mathematics, Informatics and Natural Sciences, Department of Physics
Salary levelEGR. 13 TV-L
Start date01.01.2024 (or later), the initial fixed term is 3 years with a possible extension of one year (This is a fixed-term contract in accordance with Section 2 of the academic fixed-term labor contract act [Wissenschaftszeitvertragsgesetz, WissZeitVG]).
Application deadline15.09.2023
Scope of workpart-time
Weekly hours75 % of standard work hours per weekThe group studies the formation of growing supermassive black holes (SMBHs) and their subsequent evolution in the early Universe. We aim to understand the processes by which SMBHs form, how they grow to their observed masses and how they influence the evolution of their host galaxies. Furthermore, we use actively growing SMBHs - quasars - as probes of the cosmic large-scale structure and the physical evolution of the intergalactic medium.
In order to address these science questions we use wide-area photometric surveys to discover new quasars at high redshift (using Euclid, LSST, data mining, machine learning, spectroscopy), conduct follow-up observations to characterise them (with optical, near-infrared, and sub-mm observations, spectroscopic modelling) and analyse their demographics (e.g., luminosity function, mass function using statistical inference).
We are looking for a PhD student with a keen interest in these topics and the high redshift Universe in general.
**Responsibilities**:
Duties include academic services in the project named above. Research associates may also pursue independent research and further academic qualifications. They may also pursue doctoral studies outside of working duties.
Specific Duties
The research associate will spend 100% of their time on academic research, including communicating results in major conferences and through journal publications.
**Requirements**:
A university degree in a relevant field.
Applicants should hold a Master’s degree (or equivalent) in Physics, Astronomy/Astrophysics or another relevant field, at the time of starting the PhD. The position requires excellent English proficiency, good communication and team skills.
Knowledge in extragalactic astrophysics and proficiency in coding (e.g., with python) are additional assets.
We offer
- Reliable remuneration based on wage agreements
- Continuing education opportunities
- University pensions
- Attractive location
- Flexible working hours
- Work-life balance opportunities
- Health management
- Educational leave
