Dear Colleagues,

Apologies to those of you that receive this more than once but could you please pass this on to any suitable candidates?

Cheers,
Melanie

Faculty Position in Astrophysics: Victoria University of Wellington, New Zealand
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
We are offering 1-2 permanent faculty positions in Astrophysics at Victoria University of Wellington at the Lecturer/Senior Lecturer level.

In particular, we invite applications from ambitious early-to-mid-career physicists who specialize in astrophysics and would like to work in a dynamic multi-disciplinary School at New Zealand’s most research-intensive university. The successful candidate should have an excellent track record in research and teaching relative to career opportunity and needs to demonstrate how he/she will enhance or complement our current strengths in low-frequency radio astronomy, multi-wavelength observations of galaxy clusters, cosmic magnetism, and astronomical image processing.

VUW is a member of the Murchison Widefield Array consortium, is leading the science data pipeline design for the Square Kilometre Array, and staff and postdoctoral fellows hold prominent positions in several next-generation astronomical survey projects. This is an exciting opportunity to join New Zealand’s most rapidly growing astrophysics group, work with world-class telescopes and enjoy the benefits of living in Wellington – one of the most liveable cities in the world. Further details of our research activities in astrophysics can be found at http://www.victoria.ac.nz/scps/research/research-groups/astronomy-astrophysics  .

Note: there are two positions being advertised with two slightly different selection committees. The first is a dedicated astrophysics position, the second is an open search for a candidate from geophysics, condensed matter physics or astrophysics. We will therefore appoint at least 1 and up to 2 astrophysicists. Anyone interested in applying is strongly encouraged to apply for both positions:

http://jobregister.aas.org/job_view?JobID=46678
http://jobregister.aas.org/job_view?JobID=46772

Applications close on January 10th (New Zealand time).

Questions can be directed to Dr Melanie Johnston-Hollitt (contact details below), note that the University if now formerly closed for the Christmas break so responses might take a couple of days.
