| We have a friendly and growing 21 cm cosmology group at MIT involving Bernie Burke, Jacqueline Hewitt, Max Tegmark, and numerous students. We are searching for an experimentally inclined postdoc to take a leadership role in our Omniscope project, whose ultimate goal is to use 21 cm tomography not only as a tool for learning about the epoch of reionization, but also for precision cosmology: because it can map a much larger volume, it has the potential to overtake the cosmic microwave background as the most sensitive cosmological probe of inflation, dark matter, dark energy and neutrino masses. Prior experience in radio astronomy and electronics is highly valued but not required - what is most important is that you're smart, ambitious, have good people skills and are eager to take a leadership role in an experimental project that you hope to continue in a future experimental astrophysics faculty job.
Applicants should submit a curriculum vitae, a list of publications, and a brief description of research interests here at www.academicjobsonline.com. Applicants should also arrange for three letters of recommendation to be uploaded here. Only web submissions will be accepted.
Application review will begin immediately, so please apply before the deadline if possible.
Any inquiries should be directed to Professor Max Tegmark, tegmark@mit.edu.
MIT is an equal opportunity/affirmative action employer. |
