23 Jan '20

hi cosmo-pl, Here are 3 cosmo postdoc positions available at QMUL; this ad is also available at https://cosmocoffee.info/viewtopic.php?t=3275 . Cheers Boud ----------------------------------------------------- The Cosmology & Relativity Group [1] at Queen Mary University of London [2] invites applications for three STFC funded postdoctoral positions in theoretical and observational cosmology. These are: 1. Statistical detection of the 21cm signal from Cosmic Dawn/Epoch of Reionisation [3]. This position is focused on the development of innovative statistical data analysis and/or simulation tools for the Hydrogen Epoch of Reionization Array (HERA), and using them to constrain the 21cm power spectrum at high redshift. Several seasons of data from HERA are already available, with much more on the way - with Phil Bull (p.bull at qmul.ac.uk). _closing date_: 7th February 2020 _job reference_: QMUL21176 _apply here_: https://webapps2.is.qmul.ac.uk/jobs/job.action?jobID=4969 2. Detecting relativistic effects in large scale structure and the bispectrum [4]. This project will develop theoretical tools, predictions and/or N-body simulations preparing the way for the first detection of relativistic effects in large-scale structure - with Chris Clarkson (chris.clarkson at qmul.ac.uk), Phil Bull and Timothy Clifton_._ _closing date_: 28th February 2020 _job reference_: QMUL21204 _apply here_: https://webapps2.is.qmul.ac.uk/jobs/job.action?jobID=4985 3. Testing and constraining dark energy and modified gravity with non-linear structures in cosmology [5]. This project will develop new theoretical frameworks for investigating the effects of alternative theories in the non-linear regime of structure formation - with Timothy Clifton (t.clifton at qmul.ac.uk) and Alkistis Pourtsidou(a.pourtsidou at qmul.ac.uk). _closing date_: 28th February 2020 _job reference_: QMUL21213 _apply here_: https://webapps2.is.qmul.ac.uk/jobs/job.action?jobID=4971 A PhD degree and relevant research experience are required. The posts are for three years, starting in September 2020 (or other date by agreement). The Cosmology and Relativity Group is part of the Astronomy Unit [6] at QMUL consisting of 8 permanent staff members (Tessa Baker, Phil Bull, Chris Clarkson, Tim Clifton, Karim Malik, David Mulryne, Alkistis Pourtsidou and Will Sutherland), together with ~7 postdocs and ~10 PhD students, with an active international visitors programme. The vibrant group has diverse research interests spanning large-scale structure and radio cosmology, inflation and the early universe, advanced perturbation theory, and modified gravity. Group members play key roles in many international experiments, including the Square Kilometre Array, Hydrogen Epoch of Reionization Array (HERA), Euclid, and the Large Synoptic Survey Telescope (LSST). The Astronomy Unit has access to excellent local computational facilities, including an HPC cluster with 5000 cores, and a Tier2 GridPP cluster with more than 5PB of storage and 2000 cores. Projects 1 & 2 will be in close collaboration with researchers in South Africa, at the Centre for Radio Cosmology [7] at the University of the Western Cape in Cape Town, and successful applicants will have the opportunity to spend significant periods of their fellowship there. We welcome applications from all qualified applicants, but applications are particularly encouraged from traditionally under-represented groups in science.

Inhomogeneous Cosmologies IV, Torun, 14-19 July 2019
by Boud Roukema 31 Jan '19

31 Jan '19

Inhomogeneous Cosmologies IV, Torun, 14-19 July 2019 During 14-19 July 2019 we are gathering experts in inhomogeneous cosmology for a small workshop of about 30 participants at Nicolaus Copernicus University in Torun, the town where Copernicus was born. We wish to map out the most promising directions for analytical, numerical and observational investigations aimed to take into account both structure formation and cosmological expansion within the constraints of general relativity. Can we clarify the physics present in the relativistic cosmology software now being developed? Are the calculations artificially constrained or are they fully relativistic? Can we achieve accurate postdiction of cosmological observations and follow up by making predictions for the upcoming decade of new major survey projects? We expect vigorous, constructive debate between "one-percenters" and "order-unity" proponents, and practical hands-on sessions of free-licensed inhomogeneous cosmology software packages. Feel free to redistribute this announcement. Check the CosmoTorun19 website or subscribe to the inhom newsletter to know when registration is open. More info: https://cosmo.torun.pl/CosmoTorun19 Newsletter 'inhom': https://cosmo.torun.pl/mailman/listinfo/inhom Contact: cosmotorun19 at cosmo.torun.pl Organising committee: Boud Roukema, Eloisa Bentivegna, Krzysztof Bolejko, Thomas Buchert, Mikolaj Korzyński, Hayley Macpherson, Jan Ostrowski, Sebastian Szybka, Eleonora Villa, David Wiltshire Topics will include: * exact cosmological solutions of the Einstein equations * averaging and backreaction in cosmology * numerical cosmological relativity * observational tests
