Applications are invited for a research associate position to work on the properties and evolution of distant galaxies through cosmic time, with a focus on utilizing data from the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) and the Euclid Space Telescope. The successful applicant will work with new general observer and guaranteed time observations (GTO) JWST data through imaging with NIRCam and spectroscopy through NIRISS and NIRSpec.
