The Jodrell Bank Centre for Astrophysics, University of Manchester, welcomes applications for a 3-year UK STFC-funded postdoctoral position to work on exoplanet demographics with NASA Roman and ESA Euclid. I'd be very grateful for this to be forwarded to any colleagues you know who may be interested in applying. Please note the closing date of 10th June 2026. Applicants must be available to start on October 1st 2026.

The Jodrell Bank Centre for Astrophysics seeks an STFC-funded Research Associate in the area of Exoplanets to develop and apply simulations to data from the Galactic Bulge Time Domain Survey (GBTDS) undertaken with the NASA Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope and from the Euclid Galactic Bulge Survey undertaken by the ESA Euclid mission.

The successful candidate will work with Dr Eamonn Kerins. Dr Kerins is the ESA-appointed scientist to the GBTDS, as well as a member of the Euclid Exoplanet Science Working Group. Additionally, Dr Kerins leads the Demographics Working Group for the NASA Roman transit science team (TRExS). The successful candidate will work with Dr Kerins, and Roman science team members, to develop and apply simulation infrastructure that will enable the demography of exoplanets to be recovered through combined Roman transit and microlensing samples.

As part of the application process applicants should send a CV, a bibliography of work published and submitted, and the names and contact details of two referees save as one document/file under 1 MB and upload to the CV section of the application.
