The collaboration works with the Axion Dark Matter Experiment (ADMX), which currently leads the world in sensitivity to dark matter axions. The aim is to develop a novel high frequency axion target to be incorporated into the existing ADMX apparatus, as well as developing our own cutting edge research instrumentation for axion and ALP research in the United Kingdom. </p>\n\n\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 20px; font-family: san-serif;\">The successful candidate will be strongly encouraged to work with all of the theory members of the collaboration including Dr Edward Hardy (Liverpool), Prof John March-Russell (Oxford), and Prof Stephen West (Royal Holloway), and to develop interactions with the experimental members of the groups.</p>\n\n\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 20px; font-family: san-serif;\"><strong>In return we offer a highly competitive rewards and benefits package including:</strong></p>\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>Generous annual leave entitlement </li>\n<li>Training and Development opportunities</li>\n<li>Pension Scheme with generous employer contribution </li>\n<li>Various schemes including Cycle to Work, Season Ticket Loans and help with the cost of Eyesight testing.</li>\n</ul>\n\n\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 20px; font-family: san-serif;\">The post is based in Egham, Surrey where the RHUL is situated in a beautiful, leafy campus near to Windsor Great Park and within commuting distance from London. </p>\n\n\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 20px; font-family: san-serif;\">For an informal discussion about the post, please contact Professor Stephen West on <a data-mz=\"\" href=\"mailto:Stephen.West@rhul.ac.uk\" rel=\"no-follow\">Stephen.West@rhul.ac.uk</a></p>\n\n\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 20px; font-family: san-serif;\">To view further details of this post and to apply please visit <a data-mz=\"\" href=\"https://jobs.royalholloway.ac.uk/\" rel=\"no-follow\" target=\"_blank\">https://jobs.royalholloway.ac.uk</a> and please include: 1) Curriculum Vitae, 2) List of publications, 3) Statement of research interests.

Social reformer Elizabeth Jesser Reid founded Bedford College in 1849 while Royal Holloway was founded by Victorian entrepreneur and philanthropist Thomas Holloway, and opened by Queen Victoria in 1886. The colleges became part of the University of London in 1900 and after becoming co-educational in 1965 the two colleges merged in 1985 to become Royal Holloway, University of London.</p><p> </p><p>The university is set on a 135 acre campus, which is located in Egham, Surrey, 40 minutes south west of central London and just 7 miles from Heathrow airport.</p><p> </p><p>A state-of-the-art library at the heart of the campus offers more than 1,250 study seats and different zones to accommodate every type of study: silent, social, creative and collaborative.
