Bring your interest in cosmology or the epoch of reionisation to the Square Kilometre Array.
The role
The Square Kilometre Array (SKA) will be the most sensitive radio telescope ever built and will play a major role in answering key questions in modern astrophysics and cosmology (see www.skatelescope.org). This is an exciting opportunity to join the SKA Group and work closely with the JBCA Extragalactic and Cosmology Group headed by Prof Richard Battye.
The person
As a scientist of international standing, with an active interest in exploring cosmology or the the epoch of reionisation (EoR) with the SKA, you will have an established record of research excellence, and the potential to play leading roles in observational projects. Expertise in observation with SKA pathfinder or precursor telescopes would be of particular interest.
