Work with us

Open positions

• 3-yr senior postdoc position (min 6 yrs of research including PhD)
  We are looking for a researcher to work preferentially with ultra-low frequency data (<100 MHz) in the framework of the Low Frequency Array (LOFAR; www.lofar.org). The candidate will work with massive amounts of data from the LOFAR LBA Sky Survey (including deep fields) and with the planning of the LOFAR 2.0 expansion of the survey. The candidate will help developing advanced data reduction techniques to solve direction dependent systematic effects and tackle the use of LOFAR international stations. The candidate has freedom to combine the technical part of the project with science cases that they wish with preference on the study of the large-scale structure, galaxy clusters and/or AGN.

• 3-yr postdoc position (min 3 yrs of research including PhD)
  We are looking for a postdoc to work on topics including the large-scale structure, AGN and galaxies in clusters and/or the non-thermal components of galaxy clusters. The candidate will explore the radio emission generated by these phenomena possibly in connection with emission at other wavelengths. The candidate should work preferentially but not uniquely with Low Frequency Array (LOFAR; www.lofar.org) data from surveys or dedicated proposals. An interest in the developing of novel techniques for the use of international stations and/or the exploration of the ultra-low frequencies (<100 MHz) is an asset.
