About this position
Postdoctoral vacancy at the E.A. Milne Centre for Astrophysics, University of Hull for a 3-year STFC-funded project (Ref: JR103001) focused on computational astrophysics, molecular physics, astrochemistry, and molecular spectroscopy.
The project aims to develop computational approaches for ro-vibrational molecular spectroscopy and build a new database of halogen-based chemical fingerprints to support the search for biosignatures and life on other worlds. The work is linked to future analysis of data from missions such as the James Webb Space Telescope and to identifying rare biological markers in “water worlds.”
Eligibility / requirements: PhD in Computational Astrophysics, Molecular Physics, or a related discipline; proficiency in electronic and vibrational structure calculations; experience with high-performance computing; code development skills for molecular spectroscopy are a plus.
Funding: 3-year funded postdoctoral appointment with salary £39,906–£46,049.
Location: Kingston upon Hull, United Kingdom.
