Newcastle upon Tyne, Newcastle upon Tyne, United Kingdom Newcastle University Full time
The Role

We are seeking a highly skilled and motivated Postdoctoral Research Associate to join our team in the School of Mathematics, Statistics and Physics at Newcastle University. The successful candidate will be part of the UKRI-funded SYMPHONY project, led by Dr Dominic Bowman, and will contribute to the development of asteroseismic modelling of massive stars.

The SYMPHONY project combines various sources of data to perform asteroseismic modelling of massive stars and measure their masses, ages, and interior rotation profiles. The successful candidate will work closely with the project team to detect and characterise pulsating magnetic stars, and perform magnetoasteroseismic modelling to constrain their interior magnetic fields.

Key Responsibilities
  • Conduct research along the lines of the programme of the funded project
  • Work successfully in an interdisciplinary research team and wider collaborators to publish world-leading research
  • Present outputs of the research from the research team to scientific and non-scientific audiences, in written and oral form
  • Contribute to the positive culture and general strengths of the research group and the School, for example through supervision of project students, participation in outreach, leading initiatives to promote Equality, Diversity and Inclusion (EDI), and organising/participating in research events
Requirements
  • Excellent technical skills in analysing and interpreting data sets that can be applied to the aims of the project
  • A track record of high-quality research outputs related to the goals of the project
  • Excellent communication skills, including the ability to write concisely for publications, and creatively for communications
  • A track record of presenting research at conferences, symposia, or meetings, commensurate with career stage
Desirable
  • Demonstrable ability to develop research proposals in collaboration with other academics and international consortia
  • Experience in creating and/or delivering activities designed to make science more accessible and inclusive and/or to promote science to the general public
Attributes and Behaviour
  • Ability to work independently using own initiative and to meet strict deadlines
  • Demonstrable ability to work cooperatively as part of a team, including participating in research meetings and working on joint research projects
  • High level of analytical, numerical and problem-solving capability
  • A commitment to the values of equality, diversity and inclusion in all aspects of your work
Qualifications
  • PhD awarded in a relevant discipline (or exceptionally equivalent professional experience)
  • Honours degree in a relevant discipline
