The Astronomy and Astrophysics Group at the University of Warwick seeks to appoint a Research Fellow working on exoplanet detection and characterisation using the Next Generation Transit Survey (NGTS) and the Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS).
The NGTS facility is an array of twelve telescopes situated at the ESO Paranal Observatory in Chile (the site of the Very Large Telescope, VLT). The NGTS telescopes are optimised for exoplanet transit observations, matching the photometric precision of TESS. Our focus is on the discovery and characterisation of new long-period transiting exoplanets.
For informal enquiries, please contact Professor Peter Wheatley via email: p.j.wheatley@warwick.ac.uk.
We will consider applications for employment on a part-time or other flexible working basis, even where a position is advertised as full-time, unless there are operational or other objective reasons why it is not possible to do so.
Full details of the duties and selection criteria for this role can be found in the vacancy advert on the University of Warwick's jobs pages. You will be routed to this when you click on the Apply button.
