Researcher in Astronomy - Hiring in process/Finished, not possible to apply

We announce a 4 months temporary researcher position within astronomy and astrophysics in the Department of Astronomy and Theoretical Physics. The succesful applicant will work in the stellar infrared spectroscopy team. This team is led by Nils Ryde, who has a large expertise and experience within the research area.

Work duties
The researcher will work on analysing data from recent CRIRES+ observations performed on galactic centre stars. The work is expected to be completed inside the period of the 4 months of the position. The project involves pipeline reduction of the data and synthezising theoretical models to perform abundance analysis of the observed stars. The results will be compared with the previous study by the group on galactic centre stars in order to confirm or reject the previous result showing increased alpha abundance for metal rich stars.

The researcher will interface with the laboratory astrophysics group in collaboration with Malmö University in order to secure that atomic data used in the analysis is up to date. The researcher will also be in charge of managing the server hardware and software used by the group to support the analysis work.

Qualifications
The applicant must hold a PhD in astrophysics and have a research profile within stellar spectroscopy, atomic line list theory and stellar populations in the galactic centre. The application must also have experience using the software tool spectroscopy made easy, as there will be no time for proper training. The applicant must have experience with using and maintaining ubuntu linux server software.

Terms of employment
Fixed-term employment full-time for four months.

Application procedure
Applications should consist of CV, publication list, a short description of current research (max 1 page) and copy of the doctoral degree certificate.
