UK ALMA Research Associate
Applications are invited for a research associate position in the UK ALMA Regional Centre Node headed by Prof. Gary Fuller at the JBCA.
The holder of this position will play a leading role in the UK ARC Node and EU ARC user support, science and development activities. The appointee will spend 75% of their time as part of the team supporting astronomers planning ALMA observations, acquiring and processing data. This will involve one-to-one support, the passing on of mm-wave interferometry skills, and the testing and enhancement of software and imaging tools, with the exact balance of activities to be agreed after appointment. This work will require significant active interaction with both the ESO ARC and the other members of the European ARC Node network, as well as the wider international ALMA project. For the remaining 25% of their time the successful candidate will be expected to engage in their own independent research program focused on ALMA science, in collaboration with researchers locally and elsewhere.
This is a full-time post available from 1 January 2025 and will be offered on a fixed-term contract for 26 months. The UK ARC Node policy is to maintain a stable group of staff and so the position is likely to be extended for future years depending on funding and performance.
Applicants should submit a CV and publication list, the name and email addresses of three people who have agreed to provide references together with a research statement 2-3 pages in length outlining their research skills and experience, and plans for how they would apply these in this position.
