Research Fellow in Exoplanets & Stellar Physics
I am currently seeking to appoint a motivated and driven Research Fellow within the my team, as part of the Astronomy and Astrophysics group at the University of Warwick. The initial appointment will be for 3 years, with the possibility for extension.
The successful candidate will work with me on the "Pathway to the Confirmation and Characterisation of Habitable Alien Worlds," supported by the UK Research and Innovation Future Leaders Fellowship programme. They will characterise stellar surface variability and measure the alignment between exoplanetary orbits and their host stars rotational spin-axis. The candidate will utilise the reloaded RM approach to determine such alignments and probe planet migration and evolution. In doing so, they will also spatially resolve distant stars, investigate stellar surface variability and determine stellar differential rotation across main sequence stars.
The Astrophysics group at Warwick is one of the UKs leading exoplanet research groups, and provides an excellent environment for a motivated Research Fellow to further their scientific career. Some of the post holders time may be available for their own independent research, preferably in the area of exoplanets or stellar/solar physics within the Physics Department at Warwick.
Applications should include:
At the University of Warwick, we strongly value equity, diversity and inclusion, and the Physics Department will provide a healthy working environment, dedicated to outstanding scientific guidance, mentorship and personal development. We are committed to individuals with care giving duties and can offer flexible working hours. Applications for a part-time position will be considered
.
