Queen Mary Cosmology

Just over a week left to go for this, folks!

We're hiring! A set of faculty positions (all levels) is open at QMUL, with gravitational waves & cosmology as a key target area. Closing date 12th November. Please share. More details: qmul.ac.uk/strategic-hire…

There are a myriad of theories vying to replace GR, and with our new Hi-COLA code we can simulate structure formation for more of them than ever! arxiv.org/abs/2209.01666 Really glad to have wrapped this paper up just in time for my wedding too 🎉

Great new project by @just_shaun to bridge the gap between cosmology news highlights and real research. Lucky me got to play guinea pig, talking gravitational waves and SPACE LASERS! @LISACommunity

Lots of fun with the @QMULSPCS astrophysicists at the @EngageQM #FestivalOfCommunities today! @Tessa_M_Baker, @TomHaworthAstro, @RachelMaryGray

Come along and meet us at our Festival of Communities on Sunday 12th June! Black holes, spacetime, planets and solar observing together with @QMPlanets @QMULSPCS @QMUL @TowerHamletsNow Info: qmul.ac.uk/festival/

If anyone is in the east end of London on Sunday 12th June and wants to see it in action they should come along to the Festival of Communities (which is free and open to the public), taking place on QMUL's campus. Come and say hi!

Researchers - would you like to join the fabulously friendly Cosmology & Relativity group at QMUL? We're looking to support applicants for upcoming fellowships, see details below. Please contact us for further info.

Job advert: 3-year postdoc position @QMcosmology (London, UK) to work on radio cosmology with the HERA and MeerKAT telescopes. Application deadline is 29th November 2021; please get in touch if you would like more information! webapps2.is.qmul.ac.uk/jobs/job.actio…

How will @ESA_Webb see back almost to the Big Bang itself? Two architects of @nasawebb talk to @KimMcAllister and @MurrayBCollins about this next generation telescope on The Great British Lift Off’ podcast 🎙 🔊 orlo.uk/qOAjp #WebbWednesday

Interesting as always from George Ellis iai.tv/articles/the-p…

LSST postdoc with Michelle Lochner at @UWC_Astro!

You still have the chance to advance your career with a postgraduate degree at Queen Mary. The application deadline for overseas students is Friday 3 September. Apply now and make 2021 a year to remember bit.ly/3jcVz4T

A very nice explanation of the uppper bound on the energy scale of inflation from @StartsWithABang forbes.com/sites/startswi…

Bringing the James Webb Space Telescope to life in the UK Emma and Olivia are the two new Webb Fellows who will bring the science of @WebbTelescopeUK to schools, scientific communities and the public in the UK. Find out more 👉 orlo.uk/KAJ2X 📸: NASA/ESA/STScI

The Bell Burnell Graduate Scholarship Fund is for graduates wishing to study towards a doctorate in physics and from groups currently under-represented in physics. So far 12 people have been funded through this initiative. Read more about the fund: iop.org/about/support-…

For the month of August, we talk to @TanaDJoseph about growing up in South Africa and pursuing her dreams to study stars. Tana is an astrophysicist, science communicator, EDI champion and all round amazing person! #TONConversations

See this? It’s a copy of the @NASAHubble computer. Your smartphone has ~2000x the storage and 100x the computational speed. Even so, this is what helps create the amazing science and images you see of the cosmos from Hubble. Incredible to see how technology advances for science.
