Applications are invited for the 3-year Michael West Research Fellowship, located within the Astrophysics Research Centre (ARC) of the School of Mathematics and Physics. This fully-funded fellowship will allow the successful applicant to pursue their own astronomical research programme, which should be complementary to those already being undertaken within ARC. A novel aspect of this fellowship is that the fellow will make a significant contribution to the astronomy outreach programme in the School. An appropriate research support package will be provided.

Informal enquiries may be directed to Prof. Alan Fitzsimmons (telephone: +44 2890 973124, email: a.fitzsimmons@qub.ac.uk).

* A PhD in a relevant subject either awarded or at least submitted at the time of taking up the post.
* Experience of relevant research in astrophysics in an area that will
complement and enhance the key research areas within ARC.
* High quality refereed publications commensurate with applicant's career stage.
* Experience in Public Understanding of Science activities, for example through lectures,
written articles, hands-on projects or other forms of engagement.
