Requires a PhD in physics, astrophysics, or a related field (or near completion), a strong background in galaxy dynamics, the interstellar medium, and mm/sub-mm interferometry; experience with strong gravitational lensing or optical/near-infrared spectroscopy is desirable. Fixed-term through June 30, 2028, Grade 7RS, Oxford.
