Applications are invited for a Postdoctoral Research Assistant in Linking HI to the Cosmic Web with MIGHTEE The post is available initially for a fixed-term duration of 6 months This is a short-term role funded through the UKRI Frontier Research Grant of Prof. Matt Jarvis to exploit the first data release of the MIGHTEE-HI component of the MIGHTEE survey in the COSMOS field. The role with require a high level of technical expertise to determine the link between the gas in galaxies, traced in HI, with their position within the cosmic web. The successful candidate will • Analyse MIGHTEE-HI data alongside multi-wavelength data in the COSMOS field and write publishable papers based on this. • Work closely with other members of Prof. Jarvis’ group to maximise the impact of the MIGHTEE-HI Date Release 1. • The post-holder will be expected to contribute to Departmental life in Oxford Astrophysics. We provide opportunities to teach in tutorials and laboratories, supervise undergraduate project students and contribute to our active outreach programme. Other opportunities involve running our astrophysics seminar series and engaging in Departmental committees. • Undertake quality control checks of the HI data cubes for the preparation of Data Release 2 for MIGHTEE-HI • Help in the reduction and analysis of recently obtained DDT observations to complement the MIGHTEE HI DR1 data • Co-organise weekly group meetings on HI and the cosmic web • The post-holder will be expected to contribute to Departmental life in Oxford Astrophysics. We provide opportunities to teach in tutorials and laboratories, supervise undergraduate project students and contribute to our active outreach programme. Other opportunities involve running our astrophysics seminar series and engaging in Departmental committees. Applicants should possess, or be very close to obtaining a doctorate in physics or a related field and ideally a strong background in Astrophysics . • A demonstrable understanding of the link between gas and environment in the context of the MIGHTEE radio interferometry survey • Experience of using filament finding algorithms on multi-wavelength data sets to characterise the cosmic web • Demonstrable expertise in measuring photometry and determining galaxy properties from multi-wavelength imaging and spectroscopic data The post-holder will have the opportunity to teach.
