Postdoctoral Position - Physics at High Angular Resolution in Nearby Galaxies (PHANGS)

MPIA - Max Planck Institute for Astronomy

Heidelberg, Germany

The Max Planck Institute for Astronomy (MPIA) in Heidelberg invites applications for a postdoctoral position to work on topics related to ISM physics, star formation and stellar feedback on small (<100pc) spatial scales in nearby galaxies in the “Extragalactic Star Formation” group led by Dr. Eva Schinnerer. The offered position is funded by a grant from the German Space Agency (DLR) in the context of JWST and HST observations awarded to the PHANGS collaboration.

The successful candidate will work on all aspects necessary to characterize stellar feedback in nearby galaxies using new narrowband imaging data for HII regions in nearby galaxies from JWST/NIRCam and HST/WFC3 treasury programs. Further there will be opportunities to carry out research within the PHANGS collaboration exploiting all available datasets from ALMA, HST, JWST, VLT/MUSE and more instruments. Candidates with prior experience in handling HST and JWST imaging data, spectral energy distribution fitting, HII regions, photometry, and/or region morphology are in particular encouraged to apply.

Applicants should have a PhD in astronomy, astrophysics, or a closely related field. The position should be ideally be started in January 2025. The appointment will be for a period of two years with a potential for a third year.
