We are seeking to hire a postdoctoral researcher to participate in studies of galaxy clusters and the CGM and the development of millimeter and submillimeter detectors. Work in the group, led by Sunil Golwala and Jack Sayers, includes the following topics:

* Data analysis and new observations of galaxy clusters using the Sunyaev-Zeldovich effect, X-rays, galaxy spectroscopy, and gravitational lensing. 

* Use of the Sunyaev-Zeldovich effect in concert with X-rays, fast radio bursts, and UV spectroscopy to constrain the hot circumgalactic medium of galaxies, both via analysis of existing data sets and forecasts for future instruments.

* The development of detector and optics technologies for continuum imaging and low-resolution spectroscopy in the 30-420 GHz range, possibly higher, for the study of CMB polarization, galaxy clusters via the Sunyaev-Zeldovich effect, thermal sources such as dusty, star-forming galaxies and star forming regions and the ISM in our galaxy, and spectral line emission. 

Applicants should have:

* a PhD in astronomy, physics, applied physics, electrical engineering, materials science, or any other field relevant to the above work;

* strong technical skills in experimental measurements and their analysis and interpretation. Experience with superconducting detectors such as KIDs, SIS mixers, HEBs, or TESs will be particularly useful. 

* and, the ability to work independently, set priorities, multitask, seek technical input from diverse sources, and maintain good familiarity with related technical developments
