[I'm posting this on behalf of my advisor, Max Tegmark.] Hi Folks,
We have a friendly and growing 21 cm cosmology group at MIT involving Bernie Burke, Jacqueline Hewitt, Max Tegmark, and numerous students. We are searching for an experimentally inclined postdoc to take a leadership role in our Omniscope project. The ultimate goal of our project to use 21 cm tomography not only as a tool for learning about the epoch of reionization, but also for precision cosmology: because it can map a much larger volume, it has the potential to overtake the cosmic microwave background as the most sensitive cosmological probe of inflation, dark matter, dark energy and neutrino masses. We're looking for someone with experience in building radio interferometers -- prior experience with CASPER would be great but is not required. What is most important is that you're smart, ambitious, have good people skills and are eager to take a leadership role in an experimental project that you hope to continue in a future experimental astrophysics faculty job. Applicants should email us as soon as possible and submit a curriculum vitae, a list of publications, and a brief description of research interests to https://academicjobsonline.org/ajo/MIT/Physics%252FMKI%252FCosmology/288 Applicants should also arrange for three letters of recommendation to be uploaded here. Application review has already begun, so please apply before the January 31 deadline if possible. Any inquiries should be directed to [email protected]. MIT is an equal opportunity/affirmative action employer. Cheers, Max ;-) -------------------------------------- Prof. Max Tegmark Dept. of Physics, MIT 70 Vassar Street Rm. 37-626B Cambridge, MA 02139 http://space.mit.edu/home/tegmark/
