Junior Postdoctoral Researcher in Galaxy Evolution (observational) - Swinburne University of Technology

Applications are invited for a junior postdoctoral researcher in extragalactic
observational astronomy at the Swinburne University of Technology to work
with Dr. Barbara Catinella.
The appointee will work on multi-wavelength studies of nearby galaxies, aimed
at understanding the connection between gas and stellar components, and their
relation to the environment. This project will involve the analysis of radio data
from Arecibo and the Australia Telescope Compact Array, and ancillary data from
SDSS, GALEX, WISE, etc.

The appointee will join an active research group in Australia's most rapidly growing
astronomy department. Swinburne astronomers have access to the AAT, Gemini, HST,
Magellan, ATCA and Parkes telescopes, as well as institutional access to the Keck
telescopes in Hawaii. The Centre operates its own GPU supercomputing facility and
has access to state-of-the-art 3D visualization facilities. Melbourne was recently
listed as one of the best cities in the world to live in.

Essential criteria: A PhD in observational astrophysics; strong research skills and a
demonstrated publication track record in peer-reviewed journals; excellent oral and
written communications skills. Desirable criteria: experience with reduction and
analysis of HI data and/or multi-wavelength data.

The appointment will be for three years. Applications must include a CV, bibliography,
and a brief statement of research interests. Apply online at:
