Open positions

• 3-yr postdoc position (requirement: a PhD or a minimum of 3 yrs of research)

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 or simulations. 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.
Deadline: 31st January 2025
