IAA-CSIC offers a postdoctoral contract in the framework of the Project “Severo Ochoa”. Candidates are expected to carry out their activity in the research line of “Galaxy evolution and Cosmology”.
- Managing and improving a code intended to select Extreme Emission Line Galaxies (XELGs) from J-PAS data.
- Preparation of observing proposals with PMAS @ CAHA, and MEGARA @ GTC, for the XELG candidates from the J-PAS images.
- Data reduction and analysis of the (i) already available J-PAS photospectra and 1-D spectra; and (ii) IFU data (to come) of already submitted proposals.
- Interpretation and synthesis of spectro-chemical and structural properties of XELGs applying theoretical models.
- Writing of papers containing the most interesting results.
Requirements:
The candidate must have a PhD in Astrophysics (or similar). In adition this position requires:
- Experience with codes of data reduction and analysis of Integral Field Unit (2D spectroscopy) data.
- Experience with synthesis of galactic spectra and measure of emission lines.
- Experience in preparation of observing proposals for 1-D and 2-D spectroscopy.
- Deep knowledge in galaxy physics, in particular in galaxies with active star formation, and in the derivation of their physical and evolutionary properties from their optical spectra.
The fellowships include a competitive salary and full health insurance. Selected candidates will be included in SO-IAA grants, which provide additional funds for scientific visits, attendance to advanced schools and workshops, and other training activities.
IAA is an equal opportunity institution. Applications to this program by female scientists are particularly encouraged.
