Closing Date: 19 May 2026

Area: Research & Teaching

Salary: £18,318 per annum pro rata (0.5 FTE)
Fixed Term until 31/12/2026

We are ambitious and have a bold vision of what we want to achieve - shaping ourselves into one of the best universities in the world, which we are achieving through the talents and endeavour of every employee.

Our culture empowers people to achieve this aim and to collectively and individually make a real difference.

The role

We are seeking an enthusiastic and creative researcher to join a 3-year research project, The Stellar Chemical Blueprint of the Early Universe, led by Dr Robert Izzard at the University of Surrey in collaboration with Professor Chiaki Kobayashi at the University of Hertfordshire, and funded by STFC. Recent observations with the James Webb Space Telescope have revealed very young galaxies whose chemical compositions are unlike those of galaxies in the local Universe. In particular, some high-redshift, low-metallicity galaxies show nitrogen enhanced by around a factor of ten, with carbon also enhanced in some systems. These discoveries pose a major challenge to current models of stellar evolution, nucleosynthesis and galactic chemical evolution. The project asks a fundamental question: which stars made the first chemical elements observed in the earliest galaxies, and how did they do so quickly enough to explain the JWST data? 

The successful candidate will work at the interface of stellar evolution, stellar population nucleosynthesis and galactic chemical evolution. The project will develop new models of low- and zero-metallicity stars, including single stars, binary stars, massive stars, very-massive stars and AGB stars. These models will be used to predict chemical yields, especially of carbon, nitrogen and oxygen, and to test whether they can reproduce the abundance patterns observed in early galaxies. The work will make use of and extend the open-source binary_crapid population-synthesis code, including its MINT interpolation framework. It will also connect stellar-population results to one-dimensional and three-dimensional galactic chemical evolution simulations, allowing direct comparison with JWST galaxies and forthcoming survey data from facilities such as DESI, MOONS and PFS. The science goals of the proposal are to:

• identify which stellar sources can produce the unusual nitrogen and carbon abundances observed in early JWST galaxies;
• quantitatively model the chemical yields of low- and zero-metallicity single and binary-star populations;
• test the roles of AGB stars, massive stars, very-massive stars and binary interactions in early chemical enrichment;
• incorporate state-of-the-art stellar yields into galactic chemical evolution models;
• compare model predictions with JWST observations and forthcoming survey data to determine the origin of the elements in the first galaxies.

The role will involve:

• developing new low- and zero-metallicity stellar-evolution grids for use in binary_c;
• modelling the chemical yields of single and binary-star populations across a wide mass range;
• investigating whether AGB, massive, very-massive and binary stars can explain the nitrogen and carbon abundances observed in early galaxies;
• implementing and testing uncertain input physics, including mass loss, nuclear reaction rates and interpolation methods;
• coupling stellar-population results to galactic chemical evolution models;
• comparing model predictions with JWST observations of high-redshift galaxies;
• publishing results in leading journals and presenting the work at national and international meetings;
• contributing to the BRIDGCE collaboration and to the wider research culture of the Astrophysics Group at Surrey.

This is a fixed-term, full-time position for three years, and is planned to start in October 2026.

About you

You will have:

• a PhD, or equivalent research experience, in astrophysics, physics or a closely related discipline;
• experience in computational or data-driven astrophysics;
• programming experience relevant to scientific research;
• the ability to develop, run and interpret quantitative models;
• the ability to communicate research clearly through written work, presentations and collaboration;
• a track record of research outputs appropriate to career stage;
• the ability to work both independently and as part of a collaborative research team.

We recognise that candidates may come from different research backgrounds. You do not need to have worked previously on every aspect of stellar evolution, binary stars and galactic chemical evolution, but you should be motivated to develop expertise across these areas as part of the project.

How to apply

Applications should be submitted online via the University of Surrey jobs portal. Please include:

• a CV, including list of publications;
• a cover letter explaining your interest in the role and how your experience fits the project;
• contact details of at least two referees.

Interviews are expected to take place in June, either in person or online. Informal enquiries are welcome and should be directed to Dr Robert Izzard at r.izzard@surrey.ac.uk.

The role

Postdoctoral position in computational phonology on "Rational Evolutionary Phonology"

Prof Erich Round is seeking qualified applicants for a fully-funded two-year postdoctoral project on “REVOLUPHON: Rational Evolutionary Phonology". This postdoctoral project contributes to the core formal-theoretic and cognitive modelling components in the ERC-selected, UKRI-funded project "Rational Evolutionary Phonology", led by Erich Round in 2024–2029.

The position is based at the Surrey Morphology Group at the University of Surrey and provides the opportunity to work in the vibrant and highly collegial research environment for which SMG is renowned.

Background

REVOLUPHON is an ambitious project in computational cognitive science, cultural evolution and phonological theory, which seeks deeper explanations for human phonology. Though phonological theories are diverse, they contain recurrent axioms and atoms: segments, features, prosodic units, et cetera. We hypothesise that these units of representation are explicable in terms of the interaction of phonetics with resource limitations on human cognition (resource rationality). Separately, recent decades show that phonologies can be reasonably well modelled as optimisation problems, with optimisation imputed to the mind. We hypothesise that apparent optimisation, and its exceptions, arise because phonologies undergo cultural evolution, an optimising process. REVOLUPHON tests these hypotheses through computational modelling of cognition and cultural evolution, to develop new foundations for phonological theory.

Responsibilities

The candidate will be a core member of a research team focused on achieving the REVOLUPHON project aims and will participate in the broader activities both of the REVOLUPHON group and of the Surrey Morphology Group (SMG). The candidate will have opportunities at SMG to develop their research leadership profile while interacting with world-class researchers. Please refer to the full job description, under ‘Addendum’ for key responsibilities. 

About you

Suitable candidates trained in theoretical and computational phonology are strongly encouraged to apply. Please refer to the full job description, under ‘Addendum’ for essential and desirable criteria. 

The position is full time, and the successful candidate will be required to work on-site at the University of Surrey, Guildford for three days per week.

How to apply

To apply, please upload a CV along with your application to the University website. You will also be asked some brief questions to help us understand your suitability for the role. 

The following documents will be required:

• CV
• Contact details for 2 referees.
• DOI/URL links to up to three relevant works of research.
• Link to one or more public repositories illustrating coding work.
• Research statement max. 400 words, describing research interests and experience.

The role

This postdoctoral research fellow position is a full-time role starting in September for the duration of a two-year Leverhulme Trust-funded project examining adolescent boys’ and young adult men’s perspectives on, and experiences of, sexual consent.

Working closely with the Principal Investigator, the postholder will contribute to all stages of the research process, from literature review and study set-up through to data collection, analysis and dissemination. The role offers substantial hands-on experience of mixed-methods research on sensitive topics, within a supportive and intellectually engaged research environment.

Key responsibilities will include:

• Conducting and supporting systematic and critical literature reviews related to sexual consent, masculinity, gender-based sexual violence and young people’s sexual cultures
• Supporting the design, administration and management of a large-scale quantitative survey, including data handling and preparation for analysis
• Assisting with qualitative data collection, including recruitment, interviewing and transcription management
• Contributing to qualitative and quantitative data analysis under the guidance of the Principal Investigator
• Supporting project administration, organisation of research materials, and ethical and data management procedures
• Contributing to academic outputs, including drafting sections of papers, reports or presentations
• Assisting with dissemination and engagement activities linked to the project, where appropriate

The post offers an opportunity to develop advanced methodological skills, contribute to high-quality publications, and engage with contemporary theoretical debates around consent, gender, and relational ethics.

About you

You will have:

• A completed PhD (or close to completion) in criminology, sociology, psychology, gender and sexualities studies, education or a related social science discipline
• Experience of conducting qualitative and/or quantitative social research
• Familiarity with research on gender, sexuality, consent, youth or related fields
• Experience working with sensitive topics and an understanding of ethical research practice
• Strong organisational skills and the ability to manage research tasks independently
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills, including the ability to contribute to academic writing

Appointment is also subject to an enhanced Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) check.
