Offer Description
The project is aimed to understand whether the formation and growth of supermassive black holes (SMBHs) is favored in cosmic large-scale structures (LSSs), and, in turn, how black hole feedback may alter the physical properties of LSSs and affect the formation and evolution of their member galaxies. The prospective candidate is expected to reduce, analyze, and interpret multi-band observations of LSSs around distant SMBHs. Among the available data, the archival JWST observations of the J1030 field will have a prominent role in the project, as they will allow for a detailed investigation of the multiple high-z LSSs discovered in this field. The results from the analysis of the observational data will be finally compared with the expectations from new cosmological simulations.
The prospective candidate is expected to work in close collaboration with the personnel of INAF-OAS. The Institute offers a stimulating research environment and is located in the recently established Bologna Astrophysics campus, which includes the Institute for Radio Astronomy (INAF-IRA) hosting the Italian ALMA Regional Center, the Department of Physics and Astronomy of the Bologna University, and the Headquarters of the Cherenkov Telescope Array Observatory.
The appointment is for two years in the first instance and renewable afterwards, depending on fund availability and performance review. The yearly gross salary is 32,000 Euros. Additional funding will be allocated for publications, hardware, and travel expenses. The position may start as early as mid April 2024, but the actual starting date is flexible and can be negotiated.
Applicants should prepare a CV and a publication list, and fill all the application forms following the instructions of the official Call:
All applications must be submitted via email to: inafoasbo@postecert.it by Thursday, March 14th, 2024.
Up to three reference letters should be e-mailed separately to roberto.gilli@inaf.it by the same deadline.
