School of Physics and Astronomy
Location: University of Birmingham, Edgbaston, Birmingham UK
Full time starting salary is normally in the range £34,980 to £44,263
Grade: 7
Full Time, Fixed Term contract up to October 2027
Closing date: 21st July 2024

**Background**
The appointment will be for an initial three-year term starting on 01 November 2024 that has the possibility for an extension of an additional two years. The position comes with an allowance to cover international travel and computing.
**Role Summary**
- Work within an ERC/UKRI project entitled “CandY: Circumbinary AND RockY” and to contribute to writing funding and telescope time bids
- Operate within area of specialism, here the detection and atmospheric characterisation of exoplanets using high-resolution spectroscopy
- Analyse and interpret research findings and results (high-resolution spectroscopy, cross-correlation methods, post-Keplerian modelling, extracting stellar activity tracers and modelling them)
- Contribute to generating funding
- Contribute to licensing or spin out deals with demonstrated commercial success (such as revenues, asset or company sales, IP generated) and/or public understanding of the discipline or similar
**Application process**
In the form, you will get a question asking to specify your reasons to apply. You should just point to your uploaded documents.
We anticipate interviews will take place the week starting on 12th August 2024.
**Environment**
The School of Physics and Astronomy is a world-leading physics department, excelling in both research and teaching. Our physics research was recently ranked top in the UK for 4-star-category research, and 4th by GPA, by the Research Excellence Framework 2021. The 2016 Nobel Prize in Physics was awarded to Professor Mike Kosterlitz and Professor David Thouless jointly for their work into the discoveries of the properties of matter, work which started when they were at Birmingham together. The 2017 Nobel Prize was awarded for the detection of gravitational waves, in which Birmingham staff played a key role. The School is an excellent environment for an upcoming academic.
The School’s research portfolio is wide-ranging, and covers three principal themes: Quantum Matter; Particle and Nuclear Physics; and Astronomy and Experimental Gravity. It has over 120 academic and research staff together with 120 graduate students with around 50 technical and clerical support staff.
**Main Duties**
The responsibilities may include some but not all of the responsibilities outlined below.
- Develop research objectives and proposals for own or joint research, with assistance of a mentor if required
- Contribute to writing bids for research funding, and telescope observing time request
- Analyse and interpret data (high-resolution optical and infrared spectra, orbital dynamics, radial-velocities, single and double-lined binaries, atmospheric data, extracting stellar activity tracers)
- Disseminate research findings for publication, research seminars etc
- Supervise students on research related work and provide guidance to PhD students where appropriate
- Contribute to developing new models, techniques and methods (e.g. new methods of radial-velocity extraction / spectral disentangling; modelling stellar activity.)
- Undertake management/administration arising from research
- Contribute to Departmental/School research-related activities and research-related administration
- Contribute to enterprise, business development and/or public engagement activities of manifest benefit to the College and the University, often under supervision of a project leader
- Collect astronomical data; this may be through a variety of methods, but will involve observing trips to Southern France and Chile
- Present research outputs, including drafting academic publications or parts thereof, for example at seminars and as posters
- Provide guidance, as required, to support staff and any students who may be assisting with the research
- Deal with problems that may affect the achievement of research objectives and deadlines
- Promotes equality and values diversity acting as a role model and fostering an inclusive working culture.
**Person Specification**
- High level analytical capability
- Evidence of multiple peer-reviewed scientific publications, with preference to publications related to exoplanetology and high-resolution spectroscopy
- Ability to communicate complex information clearly
- Fluency in relevant models (RV modelling, spectral disentangling, post-Keplerian fits, atmospheric modelling, cross-correlation, spectral line analysis), techniques or methods (MCMC, nested sampling, gaussian processes, principal component analysis) and ability to contribute to developing new ones
- Ability to assess resource requirements and use resources effectively
- Understanding and evidence of an ability to contribute t
