Subject: [Snalert] SN Jobs at Queen's

Dear All,

apologies that this not a new SN alert, but hopefully as interesting for
some of you, as I know some contracts will be finishing next year.  I have
major funding to start a SN group here and we have two jobs coming up.

One is a 3-year postdoc in SN studies, and is advertised (see below).

The other is about to be advertised and is a permanent faculty
lectureship. This will be open to all areas, but I would particularly
encourage people in the SN field to apply. By next year we will have a
group of 8-10 people working in massive stars and supernovae.

Check our website (the permanent position will be advertised soon, the
postdoc job closes 2nd Dec).

thanks
Stephen

Research Fellow in Supernovae Studies
School of Mathematics and Physics
Queen's University Belfast

Ref: 05/W379A

Substantial funding has recently been awarded to Queen's through EURYI
and PPARC to establish a research group in supernovae studies. We wish
to expand the group by appointing an additional postdoctoral fellowship
to work in the group led by Dr. Stephen Smartt. This post is available
immediately for 3 years in the first instance, with extension possible
depending on funding.

Applicants must hold, or be about to obtain, a PhD in astrophysics, and
have experience of the analysis of astronomical data that is relevant
to observational supernovae studies.

Resources will be made available to allow the successful applicant to
spend some of their time pursuing their own independent research
programmes.

The Astrophysics and Planetary Science Research Division at Queen's
University is a UK institute with full access to the UK's current range
of telescopes (e.g. ESO, Gemini, ING, UKIRT, AAT, JCMT, LT). It is an
expanding Division, currently consisting of 6 faculty staff, 11 postdocs
and 11 postgraduate students. A EURYI award was recently made to
Dr. S. Smartt to establish a European centre for massive stars and
supernovae research.

Informal enquiries concerning the post may be made to Prof. Alan
Fitzsimmons, email: A.Fitzsimmons@qub.ac.uk. Further information on the
Research Division may be obtained at: http://star.pst.qub.ac.uk/
